ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Back home Indiana, we just learn to get along
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em9[/ch
Civilized and socialized they teach you right from wrong
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
How to hold your liquor and how to hold your tongue
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
How to hold a woman or a baby or a gun
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
But nothing will prepare you for the far Afghanistan
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
You can listen to their stories and pick up what you can
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
You listen to their stories maybe read a book or two
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Until they send you out there, man you haven’t got a clue
ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
Oh the Hindu Kush, the Band-e Amir, the Hazara
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E/B[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
They tell you a tradition in the hills of Kandahar
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
They say young boys are taken to the wilderness out there
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
Taken to the mountain alone and in the night
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
If he makes it home alive they teach him how to fight
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
They fought against the Russians, they fought against the Brits
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
Hell, they fought old Alexander, talking ‘bout him ever since
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
And after 9/11 here comes your Uncle Sam
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Another painful lesson in the far Afghanistan
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
I was ready to be terrified and ready to be mad
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
I was ready to be homesick, the worst I’ve ever had
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
I expected to be hated and insulted to my face
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
But nothing could prepare me for the beauty of the place
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
No matter what they tell you, all soldiers talk to God
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
It’s a private conversation written in your blood
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
The enemy’s no different, bad-ass holy wind
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
That crazy bastard talks to God and his God talks back to him
ch]B5[/ch
