Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

 Told you I was joining the army, had no excuse

 seemed the right the to do

 and you called me a fool

 said I’d come back mean and cruel

Aaid I just wanted to make my grandfather proud

 even though he’s not around

 been gone since I was thirteen

I’m still worried what he’d think about me

 playing this guitar ain’t gonna cut for long

 me singing these songs

 don’t compare to what he did over there

 need to prove I can carry my share

 take on my own load to bear

to me, it only seems fair
