The [D]dice gets rolled, the [G]burdens [D]shared.
The [G]price for freedom [D]comes to light, [A]flag draped caskets, [Bm]somber flights.
The [D]digni[A]ty of [G]war is [D]on the [A]news.
[D]Heavy [A]hearts now [G]cry the [A]Freedom [D]Blues.
[G]Yellow ribbons [D]in a bow,
[A]Bind the streets for [D]miles.
[G]Simple folks line [D]in the streets,
To [A]share a tearful [A7]smile.
The [D]sun shone warm on a [G]sky so [D]blue.
[D]Clouds floated high in the [G]after[D]noon.
[G]Emotions drowned out [D]in the flood, [A]of another [Bm]young mans blood.
