G D7
On a cold day in D.C. at the wall she touched his name
G
In silence kissed his picture it'll never be the same
G7 C
As I watched her walk away from those that went beyond the call
D7 G
Thoughts go to those left behind and their lives beyond the wall
C G
Beyond the wall there's a story for every name written on that wall
C G D7
Special things are left there yet by those that won't for-g-et
G D7 G
For every name memories go on beyond the wall
D7
I saw a ragged teddy bear was it someone's favorite toy
G
From a son back to his daddy or a father to his boy
G7 C
And me I kept the promise to buy my friend a beer
D7 G
Here's to you old buddy I'll just leave it here
C G
Beyond the wall there's a story for every name written on that wall
C G D7
Special things are left there yet by those that won't for-g-et
G D7 G
For every name memories go on beyond the wall
