You mind sitting down for awhile, and t[C]alking to me. Iām feeling a little[G]

Verse 3
O[G]ne Friday night at a football game
The Lords Prayer said and the Anthem sang
A [C]man said folks, would you bow your head
For the [G]list of local Vietnam dead

Was the piccolo player in the marching band
And the o[C]ne named Red and nobody really ca[G]red
But a [F]pretty little girl, wi[C]th a bow in her[G] hair
