Standard (EADGBE)
The first thing I did when that plane finally landed
was kiss the ground
The next thing I did was go find my friends
down at the old hangout
We drank some beer and talked a lot about old times
But when the booze finally hit Billy Joe Grimes
he said 'I don't know what it is
but you seem different to me.'
Chours 1:
I said I just came back
From a place where they hated me
And everything I stand for
A land where our brothers
Are dying for others
Who don't even care anymore
If I'm not exactly the same good old boy
That you ran around with before
I just came back from a war
Verse 2
(same chords as verse1)
The very next morning
I took a walk through the neighborhood
I thought it's been so long
since I've been in a place
where everything is good
People laughing and children were playing
And as I watched them
I found myself prayin'
Lord, keep 'em safe here at home
In the land of the free
Cause I just came back
From a place where they hated me
And everything I stand for
A land where our brothers
Are dying for others
Who don't even care anymore
If I'm not the same little freckled-faced boy
That grew up in that house next door
I just came back from a war
I hope you cherish this sweet way of life
And I hope you know that it comes with a price
I said I just came back
From a place where they hated me
And everything I stand for
A land where our brothers
Are dying for others
Who don't even care anymore
Chances are I never will be the same
I really don't know anymore
I just came back from a war
I just came back from a war
You don't know me
You don't know me
You don't know me
I just came back from a war
That's it! i hope you like it as much as i did!
God Bless America
