"VETERAN'S DAY
(Tom Russell)



verse 1
W[A]ell I used to hang out down at the local VFW [D]hall
And s[A]tare at the photographs up on the w[E]all
Of the[A] neighborhood boys that died in the wars we've been t[D]hrough
And the[A] hand lettered sign that said r[E]emember Jimmy Mc[A]Grew

verse 2
W[A]ell Jimmy went to Nam back in 19[D]65
[A]But there's a lot of men here that think Jimmy McGrew's still [E]alive
Though they [A]carved his name on a stone in Washington [D]DC
His [A]brother said that stone d[E]on't prove a dn thing to [A]me


CHORUS:

It's veteran's d[D]ay and the skies are g[A]ray
Leave the uniforms home cause there ain't gonna be a p[E]arade
But we'll[A] fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it t[D]hrough
And leave a[A] light in the window t[E]onight for Jimmy M[A]cGrew

( guitar One Verse )

verse 3

There's a hot rain fallin' on the back streets of Saigon

There's an old soldier stumblin' down the alley with his mama-san

Lord his eyes are cloudy and his arms are black and blue

He's just hangin' by a thread and he looks like Jimmy McGrew


CHORUS:
