If it plGease the court I've had a lFot to say
And it's nCot always been trueG
StGanding here before you, jFudge
I make mCy pledge of truth to yGou
The wGaves came over the bFowsprit
The decks awCash with running green and fGoam
BGack there at the wheel I was tFerrified
Next dCay we first saw homeG
My rGelatives came over on the MFayflower
LCanded on the shore almostG alone
NGo that damn traffic todFay is terrible
And everywhCere I look I see people alGone
AlGone with their heads lookingF in their hands
LCost in the conversation sGtare
WGalking with their eyes looking Fat the screen
TalkingC like they were really thereG
Instrumental
GFCG
I'm lGost in this new generationF
Left me behCind it seemsG
LGistening to the shadow of Jimi HFendrix
"Purple HCaze", sounding like TVG
I stGepped on someone's hand lFaying on the street
BCoth asleep and dead it mGay seem
He dGidn't even move there on the sFidewalk
I stCood there staring in a dreamG
She cGame along in her unifForm
Stood mCoving me away with a gentle hGand
DrGessed in white like a nightingFale
Her name was FlCorence, Florence of the LGand
(I knGew I'd seen her sFomewhere) C G
I knGew I'd seen her somewhereF
But she was bCusy with him goneG
She cGame with three different brothersF
CAbraham, Martin and JohnG
I hGeard a song about that onceF
And I never knew whCat it meantG
Three stGars died in a plane one nFight
Rock and RColl, the message that was sentG
I cGouldn't wrap my head around Fit
Didn't know what it mCeant G
StGanding there on that sandFy beach
WCatching it turn to cementG
NGow I don't see all the cFolors
And I might mCiss some of their beautyG
But I dGo see what I see F
And I wCant to do my dutyG
EnlGisted in the Navy at the cForner store
They hCad a recruiting boothG
I cGovered my heart and rFaised my hand
And swCore it was the truthG
G That's my pledgeF C G
That's my plGedgeF
C That's my pledge, judgeG
GFC
G That's my pledge
