[Intro]
D A Bm G
[Verse]
D
Tour was up, middle of June
A
She was plannin' a welcome home barbeque
Bm G
Green bean casserole, grandma's recipe
D
There was a knock on the door 'round 2 o'clock
A
Two uniforms and her heart stopped
Bm G
Yellow ribbon 'round an oak tree blowin' in the breeze
[Chorus]
D
Here's to the ones that didn't make it back home
A
The ones we ain't seen in so long
Bm
The hold up a beer ones, the wish they were here ones
G
The not forgotten but gone
A D
They're in a better place up there
A
But they sure left a hole down here
Bm
We just go on living and go on missing
G D
The ones, the ones that didn't make it back home
[Verse]
D
The whole town shut down, the whole town showed up
A Bm
Sang Amazing Grace, watched a slideshow of his 22 years
G
There was laughs and there was tears
D
And that preacher talked about sacrifice
A
And traffic stopped for them Cadillac lights
Bm
Johnny sold beer half price that night
G
And everybody raised them high singin'
[Chorus]
D
Here's to the ones that didn't make it back home
A
The ones we ain't seen in so long
Bm
The hold up a beer ones, the wish they were here ones
G
The not forgotten but gone
A D
They're in a better place up there
A
But they sure left a hole down here
Bm
We just go on living and go on missing
G Bm
The ones, the ones that didn't make it back home
[Bridge]
G
Back to that front porch
D
Back through that front door
A
To the life they were fightin' for
[Chorus]
D
Here's to the ones that didn't make it back home
A
The ones we ain't seen in so long
Bm
The hold up a beer ones, the wish they were here ones
G
The not forgotten but gone
D
They're in a better place up there
A
But they sure left a hole down here
Bm
We just go on living and go on missing
G D A Bm G
The ones, the ones that didn't make it back home
The ones that didn't make it back home
