Capo 2
Verse:
Well he was [D]one of the millions who [G]signed up to defend us [D]long ago in 19[A]41
when they sucker [D]punched us in Pearl Harbor he [G]fought under Macarthur
Seven[D]teen with an [A]Army Thompson [D]gun
Well he storme[D]d a lot of beaches slept in [G]jungles with the leaches
He saw [D]things young man should neve[A]r see
And when they [D]shot him in the shoulder he got back [G]up and he marched forward
Left a [D]lot of brothers de[A]ad in Kawagal[D]ie
Chorus:
If it [G]wasn't for the [A]good lord and the [D]man
There wouldn't [Bm]be a breath of [A]freedom in this [G]land
And I see people on my [A]T.V. taking [D]shots at [A]Uncle S[G]am
I hope they always remember why they [A]can
Cause we'd [G]all be speaking [A]German living under the [G]flag of Jap[A]an
If it [G]wasn't for the [A]good lord and the [Bm]man
If it [G]wasna^t for t[A]he good lord and t[D]he man
Well I'm the grandson of a soldier and I'd fight the whole world over
if duty called and freedoms on the line
but thanks to the greatest generation and the ones still fighting for our nation
I've never had to kill for my way of life
REPEAT CHORUS X 2
