Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

The day I shipped out they numbered a dozen

Upon my return were a hundred or so

 From the coast and from the prairie I bet they keep coming

Add one more name from Ontario

 And carry me home down the highway of heroes

 People above with their flags flying low

Carry me softly down the highway of heroes

True patriot love

 There was never more

I served with distinction

No visions of glory

I served without question of personal gain

Seek no justification

It's not part of my story

And it all serves no comfort to the ones who remain

Just carry me home down the highway of heroes

People above with the flags flying low

Carry me softly down the highway of heroes

True patriot love

There was never more

I took up my vocation

I was called by my nation

Without hesitation my answer I gave

Now I am not wondering of things that I might've been

I'm no consolation to the forgotten brave

So carry me home down the highway of heroes

People above with the flags flying low

Carry me softly down the highway of heroes

True patriot love

There was never more
