[F]
[C] There's a wall in Washington and it's made of coal black granite.
They say 60,000 names engraved there in it.
That wall in Washington.
For a father he traveled from far away.
Walked the path till he finds that name.
He reaches his hand out and traces each letter.
Tears they fall as his memories gather.
For the boy who filled his heart with pride.
Now but a name has been etched in the side of this wall in Washington.
There's a wall in Washington.
For a mother she traveled [G] from far [F] away.
[C] Walked the path till she finds that name.
She reaches her hand out and traces each letter.
Tears they [F] fall as her [C] memories gather.
She fails to lay at her breast.
Her heart breaks because all that is left.
There's a wall in Washington.
There's a wall [F] in [C] Washington.
For a boy he [F] traveled [C] from far away.
Walked the path till he finds that name.
He reaches his hand out and traces each letter.
Stares at [G] the name [C] of his unknown father.
His heart is young and filled with pain.
In anger he cries out, who is to blame for this wall in Washington
that's made of cold black granite?
Why is my father's name etched here in it?
There's a wall in Washington.
There's a wall in Washington.
[Gm] [D]
[C] There's a wall in Washington.
