Pluck the chords throughout
Intro: A-C#m
Cigare[A]ttes and a bottle of beer, this poem that I w[C#m]rote for you
This black [A]stone and these hard tears, they're all I've got l[C#m]eft now of you
I re[F#m]member you in your Marine uniform laughing, laughing at your ship out p[C#m]arty
I've read [F#m]Robert McNamara, he says he's s[C#m]orry
Yeah, you and your [A]boots and black t-shirt, oh, Billy you looked so bad[C#m]
Yeah [A]you and your rock and roll band was the best thing this shit t[C#m]own ever had
Now the [F#m]men that put you here eat with their families in [A]rich dining halls[C#m]
And ap[F#m]ology and forgiveness got no place here at all, here at the wal[C#m]l[A]
|A|C#m|A||C#m|F#m|A|C#m|F#m|A|C#m|
I'm [A]sorry that I missed you last year, I couldn't find no one [C#m]to drive me
If your [A]eyes could cut through that black stone, tell me would they recogniz[C#m]e me
For the [F#m]living time it must be served, the da[A]y goes on[C#m]
Ciga[F#m]rettes and a bottle of beer and skin on[A] black stone[C#m]
On the groun[A]d dog tags and wreaths of flowers, with their ribbons as red as [C#m]the blood
Red as the b[A]lood you spilled, in the Central Highland[C#m]s mud
Limousine[F#m]s rush down Pennsylvania Avenue rustlin[A]g the leaves as they fall[C#m]
A[F#m]pology and forgiveness got no place he[A]re at all, here at th[C#m]e wall[A] [E]
|A|C#m|A|C#m|F#m|A|C#m|F#m|A|C#m| (x2 and fade out)
