[D]
He came home to Tennessee, young man at the end of [Em] 45
[A] Only one of seven men in his platoon that made it back alive
[D]
He must have seen some tough things, but he never said too much about [Em] all that
[A] Put his pictures [D] and his memories [E] in a cedar chest
[Em] Everything [A] but his old army hat
[D] By the time that I was born, the winds of [A] change had swept [Em] across our land
[A] They were burning [D] flags and draft cards [A] when they bothered to take some kind of stand
And we used to laugh at Grandpa like he was some [A] old relic [Em] from the past
[A] Cause he never [D] left the house [A] unless he was wearing [Em] that funny [A] looking worn out [D] army hat
[G] Every eye was on him, anytime that he went [D] anywhere
[A] They whispered in their horn, but you could tell my Grandpa [D] didn't care
[G] I ain't wearing this for them, they'd say, it's a whole lot [D] more than that
[Em] For my buddies who gave [A] everything that a loose head eye can do
[Em] Just keep on wearing this old [D] army hat
[A]
[D] He called me up one morning, said he'd seen it on the news [Em] on his TV
[A] They've opened up a monument to World War II in Washington, [D] D.C.
I ain't getting any younger, and I wish someone would take me to [Em] see that
[A] And I couldn't help but think they're gonna laugh at you up there
[Em] If you show up in [A] that silly [D] army hat
[A] [D] Two strangers both saluted as Grandpa [A] walked up to the [Em] monument
[A] One said, thank you soldier for a job well done, the other said, [D] amen
And a young boy told him, sir, my daddy went to war and didn't [Em] make it back
[A] Could you take a picture standing here beside me?
[Em] And maybe let [A] me wear [D] your army hat
[G] Every eye was on him, there was not a cloud wanting [D] to crowd
[A] They whispered and they pointed, as my Grandpa stood up extra [D] tall to the crowd
[G] And he told his son, just keep it, when the young boy tried his best to give [D] it back
[Bm] You're a brave [B] little soldier, [A] and every soldier needs
[Em] His very own authentic [D] army hat
[Em] For your daddy who gave everything, [A] the least that I can do
[Em] Is pass on this old worn out [D] army hat
[A] [D] [D] [A] [D]
