Capo on 2nd Fret

Intro: D5

   G5
HE WON THE WAR, IN A FOREIGN LAND
          B5
THAT WAS NO HERO, THAT WAS MY OLD MAN
    E5
AND HE CAME BACK HOME, WHERE HE MET HIS WIFE
     C5
AND HE RAISED HIS KIDS, WHILE HE MADE A LIFE
G5
NOW HE NEVER PREACHED, THOUGH HE ALWAYS KNEW
     B5
AND WE WATCHED HIM CLOSE, JUST TO PICK UP CLUES
    E5
AND SOMETIMES LATE, IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
      C5                               G5
I CAN SEE HIM THERE, IN THE PALE MOON LIGHT
     D5
I AM TRYING
      C5     E5  A5
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
      C5     E5  A5
AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN
         C5   E5  A5   D5       G5             D5
BUT I'LL HAVE TO TELL HIM SOMEDAY 
    G5
AND AS FOR THIS WOMAN, MY FATHER WED
   B5
WE KNEW WE WERE LOVED, WITH THE WORDS UNSAID
    E5
AND WHEN WE WERE YOUNG SHE TAUGHT US ALL TO READ
    C5
AND THEN ONE BY ONE, SHE WOULD WATCH US LEAVE
      G5
NEVER SAW HER CRY, FOR SHE HID HER TEARS
   B5
AS ONE BY ONE, WE WOULD DISAPPEAR
       E5
BUT OF COURSE WE'D WRITE, AND OF COURSE WE'D CALL
        C5                                 G5
JUST TO HEAR HER VOICE, WHENEVER WE WOULD FALL
     D5
I AM TRYING
      C5     E5   A5
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
      C5     E5  A5
AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN
         C5    E5  A5  D5            G5                D5
BUT I'LL HAVE TO TELL HER SOMEDAY
     G5
SO I WROTE THESE WORDS, AND I HOPE THEY LAST
        B5
FOR THE YEARS HAVE COME, AND THE YEARS HAVE PAST
         E5
THINK OF ALL THEY GAVE, THINK OF ALL THE DEBT
          C5
BUT CAN'T FIND A WAY, TO REPAY THEM YET
        G5
FOR THE DAYS STILL COME, AND THE DEBT STILL MOUNT
       B5
AND DO WORDS UNSAID, EVER REALLY COUNT
    E5
BUT SOMETIMES STILL, IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
      C5                                G5
I CAN SEE THEM THERE, IN THE PALE MOON LIGHT
     D5
I AM TRYING
      C5     E5  A5
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
      C5     E5  A5
AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN
         C5    E5  A5  D5             G5       
BUT I'LL HAVE TO TELL THEM SOMEDAY
