Tom: Am Am E F C If I ever get out of this prison alive, F C I'll run straight back to the war F E to join with my side. Am E But the voices that I hear F C through the walls late at night. F C Tell the tales of the brave ones F E who fought and who died. F C My sunsets our sliver Dm E of light upon my wall F C Dm E 10 feet above my head, but I don't see the sun at all. [Chorus] Am That's my hand, F that's my hand. C Holding my flag Dm E as high as I can. Am That's my hand, F that's my hand. C Let the stripes on my shoulder Dm Am explain who I am. [Verse] Am E F C And if I ever get out of this war alive, F C I'll run straight back to my farm F E to my children and my wife. Am E She looks out on the land F C that our crops used to fill, F C and she remembers a young man F E behind the horse in the field. F C She's probably chopping wood Dm E before the leaves begin to fall. F C Dm E She looks out every day, but she don't see her man at all. [Chorus] Am That's my hand, F that's my hand. C Holding my flag Dm E as high as I can. Am That's my hand, F that's my hand. C Let the laughter of my children Dm Am explain who I am. [Verse] Am E F C And if I never get out of this world alive, F C I want my family to be with me F E holding hands at my bedside. Am E And if I have any last words, F C I hope that they would come out right. F C Words like don't delay your love, F E don't be afraid to waste your time. F C When the sunset is the last one Dm E I know I'll ever see, F C does the sacrifice of my generation Dm E die along with me? [Chorus] Am That's my hand, F that's my hand. C Holding my flag Dm E as high as I can. Am That's my hand, F that's my hand. C Let the words on my tombstone Dm Am explain who I am.
