intro: A G D

Verse:
A
Said goodbye to his mamma as he left South Dakota
G                              D
to fight fot the red, white, and blue.

A
He was nineteen in green with a new M-16
G                         D
Just doing what he had to do.

A
He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble
G                               D
With the smell of napalm in the air.

A
And the seargent said
G           D
Look up ahead.

A
Like a dark evil cloud twelve hundred came down
G                      D
On him and 26 more.

A
They fought for their lives but most of them died
G            D
In the 173rd airborne.

Chorus:
A
On the 8th of November the angels were crying
G                            D
As they carried his brothers away.

A
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
G                                     D
There were few men left standing that day.

Bridge:
F                            G
Saw an eagle fly through a clear blue sky
A GD
1965
           A        G      D
the 8th of November.

A
Now he's 58 and his pony tail's gray
G                                 D
But the battle still plays in his head.

A
He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
G                                    D
About the shrapnell they left in his leg.

A
He puts on a suit over his airborne tatoo
G                        D
He ties it on one time a year.

A
He remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one
G                             D
And swallows it down with his tears.

Chorus:
A
On the 8th of November the angels were crying
G                            D
As they carried his brothers away.

A

G                                     D
There were few men left standing that day.
