GMy (320003@1)grandpa fought in World War II

My uncle fought in 'Nam
EmMy (022000@1)father was too young 

He went to school and met my mom
CAnd (x32010@1)her dad always told us stories around dinner time
G (320003@1)                                             D (xx0232@1)    
And there's one he told when I was young that sticks out in my mind
GHe (320003@1)said ten years after daddy taught me bout the birds and bees
         EmI (022000@1)was stranded in Pearl Harbor fighting off the Japanese
CWhen (x32010@1)the kamikaze pilots came and dove in without warning
G (320003@1)                          D (xx0232@1)      
I was on the Arizona on a warm December morning

Chorus
GI (320003@1)Remember 
        C (x32010@1)          GWhen (320003@1)I was a younger man
GWe (320003@1)were soldiers 
        C (x32010@1)          GFighting (320003@1)in a foreign land
         AmNow (x02210@1)I'm older 
D (xx0232@1)                  G (320003@1)       CAnd (x32010@1)it's happening again

Verse 2
GIt (320003@1)was hard to have forgiveness for the things they did that day
EmAnd (022000@1)our President decided we should make their people pay
       C (x32010@1)                      
So we dropped on Nagasaki and we cut 'em down to size
         G (320003@1)                          D (xx0232@1) 
And the one we dropped on Hiroshima left them vaporized
GAnd (320003@1)I heard some Christian saying, what would Jesus do
Em (022000@1)                  
What if you were on the wrong side, would he point the gun at you
          C (x32010@1)                      
And they read through every word of Matthew, Mark and Luke and John
     G (320003@1)                              DSo (xx0232@1)they could see if killing was the side that Christ was on 

Chorus
GAnd (320003@1)they separate the church and state

And keep God out of school
EmSo (022000@1)our governments can educate

Based upon their rules
CBut (x32010@1)people start to wonder if our politics make sense
G (320003@1)                                     DWhen (xx0232@1)religion is our best excuse for national defense
GAnd (320003@1)when our citizens start saying that our wars are not ok
Em (022000@1)        
And Washington keeps telling them God loves the USA
CAnd (x32010@1)they teach us history so we can learn from our mistakes
G (320003@1)                                    DAnd (xx0232@1)this generation wants to know how many years it takes
CTo (x32010@1)change the way we treat our neighbors all across the land
         G (320003@1)                             DCause (xx0232@1)if we don't change our hearts we repeat the past again

GI (320003@1)Remember 
C (x32010@1)               GWhen (320003@1)I was a younger man
GWe (320003@1)were soldiers

AmNow (x02210@1)we're older 
D (xx0232@1)                 G (320003@1)    CAnd (x32010@1)it's happening again



Instrumental break
GWhen (320003@1)my grandpa finished talking

We went walking, he and I
EmI (022000@1)was thinking of the future and how scared I was to die
C (x32010@1)                             
Now my best friend's overseas in the desert where it's dry
G (320003@1)                            DFighting (xx0232@1)for our country and I need a reason why

GI (320003@1)Remember
