Tom Russell - Veteran's Day
(Live Version from the album The Long Way Around)
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
D
I used to hang out down at the local VFW hall
G
Lord, I was staring at a photograph up on the wall
D
Of all the boys in the neighbourhood who died back in World War Two
G
And the hand lettered sign said, 'Remember our Jimmy McGrew'
[Verse 2]
D
Well, Jimmy went away back in 1965
G
There's a lot of men here think that Jimmy McGrew's still alive
D
They carved his name on a stone down in Washington, DC
G
But his brother says, "That stone don't mean a damn thing to me"
[Chorus]
C G
It's veteran's day and the skies are grey
Bm Em Am D
Leave your uniforms home, boys, there ain't gonna be a parade
G C
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it through, yeah
G D C G
Hey, leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
[Verse 3]
D
There's a hot rain falling on the back streets of Saigon
G
And there's a white man running down the alley with his mama-san
D
But lord, his eyes are cloudy and his arms are black and blue
G
And he's a-hanging by a thread and he looks like our Jimmy McGrew
[Chorus]
C G
It's veteran's day and the skies are grey
Bm Em Am D
Leave your uniforms home, boys, there ain't gonna be a parade
G C
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it through, yeah
G D C
Hey, leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
G D G
Yeah, leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
