Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Well, I used to hang out down at the VFW hall
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And stare at the photographs up on the wall
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Of the neighborhood boys that died in the wars we've been through
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And the hand-lettered sign that said remember Jimmy McGrew
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Well, Jimmy went to Nam back in 1965
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But there's a lot of men here that think Jimmy McGrew's still alive
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Though they carved his name on a stone in Washington DC
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
His brother said that stone don't prove a thing to me
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It's veteran's day and the skies are gray
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Leave the uniforms home 'cause there ain't gonna be a parade
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it through
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
There's a hot rain falling on the back streets of Saigon
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
There's an old soldier stumbling down the alley with his mama-san
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Lord, his eyes are cloudy and his arms are black and blue
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
He's just hanging by a thread and he looks like Jimmy McGrew
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It's veteran's day and the skies are gray
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Leave the uniforms home 'cause there ain't gonna be a parade
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones who didn't make it through
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
Outro
ch]G[/ch
And keep it burning bright, there may still be
A lot of Jimmy McGrews over there
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it through
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
