Eb
You've got that yellow ribbon stuck on your H-2
Ebsus4          Ebsus2
Thanks for the support
Eb
Memorial Day weekend you threw a bar-b-que
Ebsus4          Esus2
Thanks for the support
      Fm            Gm
I can feel the love seven thousand miles away
G#                    Gm
And I'm a partiot, as I was trying to say
                Bb
When you cut me short
               Eb
Thanks for the support

I was gunning for Osama, and you sent me for Saddam
Thanks for the support
Now I'm sitting down to dinner - it's another can of Spam
Thanks for the support
You say complete the mission, and I say count on me
?Cause I don't even know what mission there might be
To abort
Thanks for the support

You sent me here a third time, and my house was repossessed
Thanks for the support
Now my wife is in a trailer, but she sent a kevlar vest
Thanks for the support
And I think of her only every time I bleed
And someday we will meet again at Walter Reed
The resort of last resort
Thanks for the support

And you hired those mercenaries who make eight times what I do
Thanks for that
And you dropped in on Thanksgiving with a turkey and a camera crew
Thanks...giving
Now you're giving guns to the ones who shot at me
The tank is full, but the strategy might be
Down a quart
Thanks for the support

I ?preciate the stopgap, and I ?preciate the Surge
Thanks for the support
Another twenty thousand voices to harmonize this dirge
Thanks for the support
And to the Democratic Congress who could have brought me home
Who must have come down with a new Gulf War Syndrome
Of some sort
Thanks for the support

And if I die tomorrow, won't you ship me home at night
Thanks for the support
And if I have a funeral, make sure it's outta sight
Thanks for the support
In the final seconds you've got a plan to win
Cut those taxes and let Jesus put one in
From half-court
Thanks for the support
