           D5               B5               G5       
He used to play in daddy's uniform with the stripes across the sleeve 
       D5                B5           G5                    A5

G5                  D5            E5              D5

G5                     D5         E5                  A5 
That had the nerve to cross the battle lines he had drawn 


G5               D5           G5                         D5  
And even though he didn't know what his dad was fighting for 
G5                      D5         E5      A5 
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 
D5                  B5                   G5              A5  
Kissed him and his mom goodbye and said God I love you both 
G5                  D5          E5            D5  
I know that it's a lot to ask of such a little man 
G5                     D5            E5           A5      
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 
G5                  D5           E5              D5  A5    
Who gave the great sacrifice that any child could give 
 
VERSE 3: 
           D5                              G5  
It was the first time he had ever seen  a flag from up that close 
       D5                    B5        G5                 A5 
And he watched them as they folded it so careful and so slow 
G5                      D5           E5             D5  
As they gave it to his mother he knew what he should do 
G5                    D5                 E5           A5  
He raised his little hand and gave his dad one last salute
