Link to the Grascals's website: http://www.grascals.com/ G Am Johnny lived next door to me and Paul lived down the block D C G We'd meet each day at my house sharp at six oclock Am We'd race our bikes to school and Paul would win D C G Johnny said that cause we're nine and Paul had just turned ten Am First day of High School on my way to my first class D C G Three football players said they wouldn't let me pass Am I set my books down and I rolled up my sleeve D C G And then I noticed there were two boys next to me chorus C D G It was me and John and Paul C D G The best friends you ever saw C D Em All for one and one for all C D G It was me and John and Paul Am I wonder why they call it graduation day D C G It's more like a funeral for youth thats passed away Am Paul said he's leaving for the Army in two weeks D C G Johnny said lets go to town and make some memories chorus solo Am Years later I heard Paul came back from the Gulf War D C G I flew up to Tennessee to visit him once more Am It didn't shock me none to hear that he'd been brave D C G He lost his own life but another one he saved Am I waited by a tree till everyone had left D C G And I went up to say a prayer where my pal slept Am And then I heard a voice I hadn't heard in years D C G I didn't need to turn around I knew just who was there chorus repeat chorus
