A He was nineteen in green with a new M-16 G D Just doing what he had to do. A He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble G D With the smell of napalm in the air. A And the seargent said G D Look up ahead. A Like a dark evil cloud twelve hundred came down G D On him and 26 more. A They fought for their lives but most of them died G D In the 173rd airborne. Chorus: A On the 8th of November the angels were crying G D As they carried his brothers away. A With the fire raining down and the hell all around G D There were few men left standing that day. Bridge: F G Saw an eagle fly through a clear blue sky A GD 1965 A G D the 8th of November. A Now he's 58 and his pony tail's gray G D But the battle still plays in his head. A He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks G D About the shrapnell they left in his leg. A He puts on a suit over his airborne tatoo G D He ties it on one time a year. A He remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one G D And swallows it down with his tears. Chorus: A On the 8th of November the angels were crying G D As they carried his brothers away. A With the fire raining down and the hell all around G D There were few men left standing that day.
