¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
I'm uploading this because I couldn't seem to find it online and had to
self-teach it by ear. If I've gotten the chords wrong, I apologize, let me
know and I'll try to fix it. One way or another, I'm putting this here so
someone else can get the same enjoyment out of this song that I do.
Intro: E
E
When my girl got pregnant well I dropped right out of school
A
But there's no work in South Hill so what else could I do?
E
The recruiter's came-a-knocking when this whole damn thing began
B5 E
They promised me a college education food and medicine
E
They said I wouldn't spend a dime if I got deployed overseas
A
Plus Baghdad is safer now than old Washington, DC
E
So I signed that dotted line right quick and in a blink of an eye
B5 E
I found myself at Fort Benning where I practiced forming lines
E
Well Fallujah became my home, my comfort and my dread
A
The marines that came through first man they tore this place to shreds
E
With the sound of crushing Amtracs and the whine of their Humvee's
B5 E
Calling in them A-10 air strikes man I wish I could have seen it
E
But when we got to town I realized we were only legs
A
We do dismounted patrols we do searches and do raids
E
We hear the crack of small arms fire and the blast from IED's
B5 E
We hurry up and wait, suck in dust and stay low key
B5 A E
And I cannot stop this pounding in my head
B5 A E
I thought we were doing right but that's not what folks back home have said
A B5 E A
Sometimes I can't tell which way is up or which is down
B5 A
But I'm oddly at ease with this chaos all around
E
Then one day out on patrol doing time out in the heat
A
We were ordered to a neighborhood to talk to folks out on the street
E
To gather information on where some weapons may be stored
B5 E
Or to see if the Mujahideen had hauled them off out of Fallujah and to the north
E
Well my platoon got lost and made more then one wrong turn
A
We should have called in our position fast but we blamed each other first
E
Then we started taking sniper fire - god damn them all
B5 E
We couldn't find the shooter no where he had us pinned down one and all
E
Well friendies they caught up and we took back that god damned street
A
But something wasn't right and I was feeling really weak
E
My adrenaline was high and I was scared and I could hardly breathe
B5 E
I heard doc argue with the Sarg that morphine might kill me
E
That's the last thing I remember that and heat and clear blue sky
A
And thinking about my girl back home and my daughters little eyes
E
I took that bullet in Fallujah and I'm laid up in Germany
B5 E
And I'm headed back stateside to the care of Walter Reed
B5 A E
And I cannot feel a thing below my waist
B5 A E
Doc tried to help me man but it was too late
A B5 E A
Now I don't know who is right or who is wrong
B5 E
But I'm fucked up and I want to go back home
B5 A E
And I cannot stop this pounding in my head
B5 A E
I thought we were doing right but that's not what folks back home have said
A B5 E A
Sometimes I can't tell which way is up or which is down
B5 E
But one day I'll stand firmly on the ground
B5 E
Yes one day I'll stand firmly on the ground

know and I'll try to fix it. One way or another, I'm putting this here so
