This a great song and it really means a lot to some so i decided to tab it. 
Where i put " F or Am" I am not sure which it is but the Am sounds the best to me 
but if you prefer F there's nothing wrong with that. Questions comments or 
concerns can be sent to hockeyking_94@hotmail.com.

Verse 1 
G                 C
The day I shipped out,
Fmaj7           C 
They numbered a dozen.
G         C      
Upon my return,
       F          C
Were a hundred or so.
G                      C
From the coast and the prairies,
  Fmaj7         C
I bet they keep coming.
    G            C           F   C
But add one more name from Ontario.

G        C             Fmaj7      C    
Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
G      C                F or Am    C 
People above with their flags held low.
G        C                Fmaj7      C
Carry me softly, down The Highway of Heroes.
G            C
True Patriot Love,
F or Am         C
There was never more.

Verse 2
I served with distinction,
No visions of glory.
I served without question,
Or personal gain.
Seek no justification,
Its not part of my story.
No comfort to the ones who remain.

Chorus:
Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People above with their flags held low.
Carry me softly, down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love,
There was never more.

I took up my vocation,
I was called by my nation.
Without hesitation,
My answer I gave.
Now I am not wondering,
Bout the things that I might have been.
I'm no consolation,
To the forgotten brave.

Chorus:
Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People above with their flags held low.
Carry me softly, down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love,
There was never more.

Chorus:
Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People above with their heads held low.
Carry me softly, down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love,
There was never more x 6
