Army Ranger Infantry by Kristy Lee Cook
By observation.
Capo 3
Cadd9 D G
My daddy was a soldier in a foreign war
Cadd9 D G
But he doesn't like to talk about it any more
Cadd9 D Em
He kept a picture of my mama right by his heart
Cadd9 D G
He'd give it one last look before the fighting would start
G D Cadd9
He said all I ask is that you don't forget
G D Cadd9
Cause the wars not over when the fighting ends
G D Em
There's a part of me that will always be
Cadd9 D G
Just a boy in a hole with an M-16
Cadd9 D G
Airborne ranger infantry
Cadd9 D G
I left my best friend lying in a pool of blood
Cadd9 D G
While I crawled away through the brush and mud
Cadd9 D Em
If I could choose to go back again
Cadd9 D G
I'd die lying there next to him
G D Cadd9
I still see his face when I close my eyes
G D Cadd9
As I won't forget his sacrifice
G D Em
There's a part of me that will always be
Cadd9 D G
Just a boy in a hole with an M-16
Cadd9 D G
Airborne ranger infantry
Cadd9 G
Oh, oh
Cadd9 G
Oh, woah
Cadd9 G D
Oh, oh, yeah
Cadd9 D G
I didn't do it for the money didn't do it for fame
Cadd9 D G
I didn't do it so the world would remember my name
G D Em
I did it for my family and my country,
Cadd9 D G
And my brothers who died right next to me.
