           D               Bm               G       
He used to play in daddy's uniform with the stripes across the sleeve 
       D                Bm           G                    A 
And he knew when he was all grown up what he was gonna to be 
G                  D/F#            Em              D/F#

G                     D         Em                  A 
That had the nerve to cross the battle lines he had drawn 


G               D/F#           G                         D/F#  
And even though he didn't know what his dad was fighting for 
G                      D/F#         Em      A 
He was proud to be the other little soldier

The phone rang in the middle of the night when they called his dad to go 
D                  Bm                   G              A  
Kissed him and his mom goodbye and said God I love you both 
G                  D/F#          Em            D/F#  
I know that it's a lot to ask of such a little man 
G                     D/F#            Em           A      
But hold the fort and I'll be home as quickly as I can

A wall cannot begin to hold the names of all the kids 
G                  D/F#           Em              D  A    
Who gave the great sacrifice that any child could give 
 
VERSE 3: 
           D                              G  
It was the first time he had ever seen  a flag from up that close 
       D                    Bm        G                 A 
And he watched them as they folded it so careful and so slow 
G                      D/F#           Em             D/F#  
As they gave it to his mother he knew what he should do 
G                    D                 Em           A  
He raised his little hand and gave his dad one last salute
