[Intro]
G D Cadd9
[Verse]
G D Cadd9
The medal that his dad gave him
G D Cadd9
Tucked away in his duffle bag
G D Cadd9
He said don't worry about a thing, Pops
G D Cadd9*
You'll be gettin' this when I'll get back
[Solo]
G D Cadd9
[Verse]
G D Cadd9
Walkin' down the road
G D Cadd9
Through the city on a routine patrol
G D Cadd9
Shots rang out and he hits the ground
G D Cadd9
Sergeant yells a "Man down"
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9
This is for the ones who ain't comin' back
G D Cadd9
Who fought for their country in Iraq
G D Cadd9
And they left their families at home
G D Cadd9
To come over here and die alone
[Verse]
G D Cadd9
I carried his coffin onto the plane
G D Cadd9
And gave a salute as they read off his name
G D Cadd9
We packed away that duffle bag
G D Cadd9
And the Silver Star that he got from his dad
G D Cadd9
There was one old man when we got off the plane
G D Cadd9
With no one there for him to greet
G D Cadd9
But the whole damn company shook his hand
G D Cadd9
We were brothers to the son he will never see
[Verse]
G D Cadd9
This is for the ones who ain't comin' back
G D Cadd9
Who fought for their country in Iraq
G D Cadd9
And they left their families at home
G D Cadd9
To come over here and die alone
[Chorus]
G D Cadd9
This is for the ones who ain't comin' back
G D Cadd9
Who fought for their country in Iraq
G D Cadd9
And they left their families at home
G D Cadd9
To come over here and die alone
