CAPO II
[Intro]
D G Bm A
G
We went out for beers and a couple laughs, knowin' full well that every bad joke
D/F#
Jimmy told could be his last
G
So we laughed like the world wasn't at war, said things to him we'd never said before
D/F#
And he teared up when he held up his glass
G
Said boys, if I don't make it back
[Chorus]
D G
Have a beer for me, don't waste no tears on me
D G
On Friday nights sit on the visitor side and cheer for the home team
D G
Drive my camaro ninety miles an hour down Red Rock Road
D D/F# G
With Born to Run blastin' on the radio
Bm A G D/F# Em G
Find someone good enough for Amy, who would love her like I would have
A D
If I don't make it back
[Intro]
G
We said hey man that ain't gonna happen, don't even think like that
D/F#
If we know you, you'll pull thru without a scratch
G
He pulled me aside in the parkin' lot, said Amy and me we're gonna tie the knot
D/F#
And you're my best man, just wanted you to know that
G
In case I don't make it back
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
D G
If the good Lord calls me home
Em A
I'd like to think my friends will think about me when I'm gone
G
Well Miller Lite ain't my brand, but I drink one every now and then
D/F#
In his honor
G
And we ain't missed a home game yet, had that camaro at a hundred and ten
D/F#
On Red Rock Road when the speakers blowed
Bm A G D/F#
And I introducted Amy to a friend of mine from Monroe
Em G A
He's a good old boy, ah but you know, she just ain't ready
[Intro]
D
Yeah, this place just ain't the same
G
Without that smoke-blowin', rain-joke-tellin'
Bm A
Fist-fightin', always-smilin, dear friend to me
D G
Hold 'em proud and hold 'em high, let him hear you in the sky
Bm A
To one hell of a guy
D G
Here's to Jimmy
Bm A
Yeah we gonna miss ya man
