8th Of November Big & Rich
[A]Said goodbye to his mamma as he left South Dakota
[G]to fight fot the red, white, an[D]d blue.
[A]He was nineteen in green with a new M-16
[G]Just doing what he had to [D]do.
[A]He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble
[G]With the smell of napalm in the [D]air.
[A]And the seargent said
[G]Look up ahea[D]d.
[A]Like a dark evil cloud twelve hundred came down
[G]On him and 26 more. [D]
[A]They fought for their lives but most of them died
[G]In the 173rd [D]airborne.
Chorus:
[A]On the 8th of November the angels were crying
[G]As they carried his brothers [D]away.
[A]With the fire raining down and the hell all around
[G]There were few men left standing that [D]day.
Bridge:
[F]Saw an eagle fly through a cl[G]ear blue sky
the 8th of [A]November.[G] [D]
[A]Now he's 58 and his pony tail's gray
[G]But the battle still plays in his [D]head.
[A]He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
[G]About the shrapnell they left in his [D]leg.
[A]He puts on a suit over his airborne tatoo
[G]He ties it on one time a [D]year.
[A]He remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one
[G]And swallows it down with his [D]tears.
Chorus:
[A]On the 8th of November the angels were crying
[G]As they carried his brothers [D]away.
[A]With the fire raining down and the hell all around
[G]There were few men left standing that [D]day.

the 8th of [A]November [G] [D]
