Tom: A
verse 1
A D
Well I used to hang out down at the local VFW hall
A E
And stare at the photographs up on the wall
A D
Of the neighborhood boys that died in the wars we've been through
A E A
And the hand lettered sign that said remember Jimmy McGrew
verse 2
A D
Well Jimmy went to Nam back in 1965
A E
But there's a lot of men here that think Jimmy McGrew's still alive
A D
Though they carved his name on a stone in Washington DC
A E A
His brother said that stone don't prove a d**n thing to me
Refrão -------------
D A
It's veteran's day and the skies are gray
E
Leave the uniforms home cause there ain't gonna be a parade
A D
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it through
A E A
And leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew

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:
