Chords for Coffey Anderson “Mr Red White and Blue

Flags draped over and my song was all over all these videos. _
All of them, babies, _ young,
hurt my heart, _ _ opened up my phone that evening
[N] and I said, if there's any families,
_ I would love to come and sing Mystery White and Blue
or Amazing Grace to honor you guys
in losing your child.
Nobody should bury their baby. _
_ _ I had seven million views on TikTok,
I got thousands of messages, thousands of emails
_ because there's a whole lot of us that think like me,
believe like me, and feel just like I do.
[C] I don't even have to think about it,
I just feel like it. _ _ _
_ _ We have so many messages because of it
and it's been a bittersweet.
[G] That's the second biggest song in the world _
because it's timely for it.
I'm proud of it, but also for the reasons.
_ [Ebm]
Tomorrow's a big one, absolutely.
[N] Absolutely, thank you and you're welcome.
I love y'all.
We have to be our brothers and sisters,
keep it this time.
We gotta do it. _ _
This [C] isn't a Republican Democrat thing,
this is all of us.
This is good to see some family here.
This is how we do it.
[N] _ _ _ _ _
We're gonna do 13 hits in a moment of silence
for those lost. _ _ _

[C] _ _ _ _ In Abilene, Texas, we were given a home away
to Sergeant Craig Carter, United States Marine Corps,
[F] the Military Warrior Support Foundation.
[C] When he told me his story,
_ when the National Anthem played that night,
it was a very different look in his eye
than everybody [Am] else in the room.
_ I grabbed my [F] guitar, [G] all proper gentlemen,
I had a little strap around me,
walked around the arena, _
and these words just started coming to me.
And the song was written in 10 minutes.
[F] Had a friend of mine,
he had [C] just made the Major Leagues baseball.
He said, man, your music's helped me.
If you ever need a favor, call me.
[Am] And I called him, I said, I need a little bit of money
to record [F] a song. _
[G] And he sent it that afternoon,
[C] right after we hung up on the phone.
Went to Nashville and recorded it,
and the moment the song started, I felt chills.
My neck was bigger than me.
No record label [F] wanted to touch it,
[Dm] so he released it independently.
_ [C] It was God then.
_ God's still a jealous guy,
and he wants all the glory,
and all the glory goes [Am] to him.
For all the success that he had. _
[F] _ [C] This song is called Mr.
Red White Blue,
and I'm honored to sing it for you tonight.
If you got a patriotic bone in your body,
I would encourage you to take your phone out
and share this, [Am] tag us in it,
or let the world [F] know I've been all over.
[C] It is an honor to be in the greatest baby union,
in the greatest country on this whole planet.
[Gb] Thank you for everybody.
[Am] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ It's dedicated to everybody that's ever served our country.
[Cm] Every mom that's ever let out her baby.
We love you.
