Veterans Day
Recorded by Johnny Cash
Written by Tom Russell
C G7
Well I used to hang out down at the VFW hall
C
And stare at the photographs up on the wall
G7
Of the neighborhood boys that died in the wars we've been through
C
And the hand lettered sign that said remember Jimmy McGrew
G7
Well Jimmy went to Nam back in 1965
C
But there's a lot of men here that think Jimmy McGrew's still alive
G7
Though they carved his name on a stone in Washington DC
C
His brother said that stone don't prove a thing to me
F C
It's veteran's day and the skies are gray
G7
Leave the uniforms home cause there ain't gonna be a parade
C F
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it through
C G7 C
And leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
G7
There's a hot rain falling on the back streets of Saigon
C
There's an old soldier stumbling down the alley with his mama-san
G7
Lord his eyes are cloudy and his arms are black and blue
C
He's just hanging by a thread and he looks like Jimmy McGrew
F C
It's veteran's day and the skies are gray
G7
Leave the uniforms home cause there ain't gonna be a parade
C F
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it through
C G7 C
And leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
And keep it burning bright there may still be
A lot of Jimmy McGrews over there
F
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it through
C G7 C
And leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
