Chords for Raul Malo "I'll Be Home for Christmas"

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] I was [B] at _ the San [G] Antonio airport a couple of weeks ago and a lot of military folks [F] live
in San Antonio.
[B] _ _ [A] And you know a lot of these, they're just, of course, once [B] you get past
the airport to meet them, they look like kids.
They [G] are kids.
Finally getting [Bm] home from however
many tours [F] of duty.
[Em] And we were at the airport and [G] they're all _ driving and booping with [F#] each
other, getting ready to get on their last leg to finally make it home.
And on the TV
screens [G] was one of our GOP nominees talking.
And, _ but it was perfect because it was closed
captioned.
So [E] there was no denying what this person was saying.
And _ [F#] basically, I was talking
[G] to her and she was saying that, _ _ _ _ _ _ that _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ [B] it's impossible to tell a story without saying
that.
_ I tried to be discreet about it and now I'm trying to give a shout out.
_ But,
_ [C] _
_ well, she was saying stuff [G] like _ that the troops [F#] coming home [F] from Iraq is an [B] embarrassment
and a _ failure for the United States of America.
And all this [G] right there in closed caption
as these troops are looking up at the TV set.
And I just, I really, I didn't know what to
do at that moment.
I wanted to take one of their rifles and shoot the TV instead.
_ _ _ But
I decided to do something else instead and I called a buddy of mine who was more pissed
off than I was.
And he made some calls and we made a video and we put it up on our website
and we invited him to get on there and spread that around and basically _ _ spread it to any
[B] troops, to anybody that said, I didn't _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
know what else to do.
I just, I just, [B] I just know
[G] that, you know, we can, we can argue back and forth as to how to [F] run this country and
how to [F] tax and not tax and who to tax and all that crap.
But [Bm] _ the moment you diminish
the work [G] of our [B] armed forces, I think that immediately [F] disqualifies you from running
Kirkland-Mangerell.
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm doing everything I can to make sure she doesn't.
[Bm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ _ _ [Am] This _ _ [G#] is so much fun.
