The Em7family's been hDere for
The Cadd9last hundred Gyears
And it's Gall that Dhe's ever Gknown
Em7Life in the cDotton fields
Cadd9Swamps and the Grolling hills
GAlways called DArkansas Ghome
DBut when the war came like his father before
CHe joined the Garmy
CAnd went to the Gwar
Em7Leaving the rDolling hills
Cadd9Swamps and the Gcotton fields
GBound for a DNormandy Gshore

Em7The patch that he Dwore on
Cadd9His uniformG
Was Gboth Dblue and Ggrey
The Em7colors of Dmen who died
Cadd9Fighting anGother fight
And Gmore Dwould die toGday
At DOmaha beach against Germany
A Cadd9young country Gboy
Struggled Cout of the Gsea
Em7Up on the Dsand where
Cadd9Many a Gman
Would Gnever Dknow victorGy

Em7Fought the enDtire time
Cadd9Up on the Gfront line
It was Glonely, Dbloody and Gcold
Em7The only reDlief he'd find
CMight be some Gold French wine
The Gwater was all Ddirty and Gfroze
But he was Dluckier than some, a better soldier than most
He Cadd9came back from EuroGpe
But Cnever got Ghome
Em7Now he's back Don the farm
Cadd9But not Gout of harm
He Gdrank so the Dpain wouldn't Gshow

Em7Well he left beDhind
Cadd9My brothers anGd I
We Gnever really Dknew him at Gall
I Em7barely reDmember him
Cadd9Smoking Gwith a grin
GBut looking Dmean; standing Gtall
DWell I can only hope that he wouldn't be ashamed
COf the man I Gbecome
And the Clife that I Gmade
And Em7he did the Dhardest part
And Clived life with Gall his heart
And I Ghope I dDon't let him dGown
