A Soldiers Memoir
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G
I've been home about 6 months now
Em
And I still have my doubts
C
I'm not sure how I got here
D
Or how I'm gonna get out
G
My mama says I look the same
Em
as I did before I left
C
But if she could see inside of me
D
It would scare her to death
[Chorus]
C D
I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun
C D
And I can hear my sergeant screamin' "run soldier run"
C D
I can feel the backpack on my shoulders, God it weighed a ton
Em D C
And I see death in every single thought
G D
They taught me how to put that uniform on
G
But I just can't get it off
[Verse]
G
Last Saturday they honored us
Em
In a small parade downtown
C
And when they shot off those fireworks
D
I nearly hit the ground
G
And while they smiled and cheered for us
Em
All I could do was stare
C
Cause part of me is here at home
D
But part of me is back there
[Chorus]
C D
I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun
C D
And I can hear my sergeant screamin' "run soldier run"
C D
I can feel the backpack on my shoulders, God it weighed a ton
Em D C
And I see death in every single thought
G D
They taught me how to put that uniform on
G
But I just can't get it off
[Interlude]
Em G
[Bridge]
C G
Yeah, there's no end in sight
Em D
Cause even though I'm home now,
C
I'm still fighting for my life
[Chorus]
C D
I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun
C D
And I can hear my sergeant screamin' "run soldier run"
C D
I can feel the backpack on my shoulders, God it weighed a ton
Em D C
And I see death in every single thought
G D
They taught me how to put that uniform on
G
But I just can't get it off
[Outro]
G Em
Well, the devil's won some battles, and he may win some more,
C D
But don't he know the American soldier will always win the war
