[G]Johnny lived next door to me and [Am]Paul lived down the block
[D]We'd meet each day at my house [C]sharp at [G]six oclock
We'd race our bikes to school and [Am]Paul would win
[D]Johnny said that cause we're nine and [C]Paul had just turned [G]ten
First day of High School on my [Am]way to my first class
[D]Three football players said they [C]wouldn't let me [G]pass
I set my books down and [Am]I rolled up my sleeve
[D]And then I noticed there were [C]two boys next to [G]me
chorus
It was [C]me and J[D]ohn and [G]Paul
The best [C]friends you [D]ever [G]saw
All for [C]one and [D]one for [Em]all
It was [C]me and J[D]ohn and [G]Paul
I wonder why they call it [Am]graduation day
[D]It's more like a funeral for [C]youth thats [G]passed away
Paul said he's leaving for the [Am]Army in two weeks
[D]Johnny said lets go to town and [C]make some [G]memories
chorus
solo
Years later I heard Paul came [Am]back from the Gulf War
[D]I flew up to Tennessee to [C]visit him [G]once more
It didn't shock me none to h[Am]ear that he'd been brave
[D]He lost his own life but an[C]other one he s[G]aved
I waited by a tree till ev[Am]eryone had left
[D]And I went up to say a pr[C]ayer where my pal s[G]lept
And then I heard a voice I hadn[Am]'t heard in years
[D]I didn't need to turn around I k[C]new just who was [G]there
