On the 8th of November the angels were crying
[G]As they carried his brothers [D]away

[F]Saw an eagle fly through a [G]clear blue sky

Now he's fifty-eight and his pony tail's gray
[G]But the battle still plays in his [D]head

[G]About the shrapnell they left in his [D]leg
A (D)* A

A (D)* A
He remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one
[G]And swallows it down with his [D]tears

* You don't need to play this D, but Big Kenny plays it live. I think it sounds good,
it makes it so you are not holding A out so long. Its a good song, don't be afraid to let
ring for a little, i.e. only strum F once until the G on "saw the eagle fly", it sounds best. ENJOY!
