A5                            F5    G5                    C5
The day I shipped out they numbered a dozen

A5               F5     G5                      C5
Upon my return were a hundred or so

          A5                                    F5    G5                      C5
From the coast and from the prairie I bet they keep coming

A5                       F5   G5     C5
Add one more name from Ontario

       G5                   C5    F5                       C5
And carry me home down the highway of heroes

   G5          C5       A5                             G5
People above with their flags flying low

G5              C5              F5                      C5
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes

G5                   C5
True patriot love
     
                   A5   
There was never more


A5  - F5 - G5 - C5
I served with distinction
No visions of glory
I served without question of personal gain
Seek no justification
It's not part of my story
And it all serves no comfort to the ones who remain

G5 - C5 - F5 - C5 - G5 - C5 - A5 - G5
Just carry me home down the highway of heroes
People above with the flags flying low
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
True patriot love
There was never more

A5 - F5 - G5 - C5
I took up my vocation
I was called by my nation
Without hesitation my answer I gave
Now I am not wondering of things that I might've been
I'm no consolation to the forgotten brave

G5 - C5 - F5 - C5 - G5 - C5 - A5 - G5
So carry me home down the highway of heroes
People above with the flags flying low
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
True patriot love
There was never more

End with:  F5 - C5
