Touch A Name On The Wall by Joel Mabus
Touch A Name On The Wall
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
G
I guess you could call it our summer of freedom,
C
The year that we both turned eigh-teen.
D
We hitchhiked to Denver, fresh out of high school.
G
Man, we were sights to be seen.
That was the year that you dated my cousin,
C
'Til they took us away in the fall.
D
Now I dearly wish you were standing here with me,
D
As I touch your name on the wall.
[Chorus]
G C G
Touch a name on the wall, Touch a name on the wall,
D G
Lord, help us all. Touch a name on the wall.
G
Each time I come here, I wear my fatigues,
C
To honor the men that I knew.
D
And I touch every name that came from my outfit,
G
And read 'em out loud when I do.
Some people say that they all died for nothin',
C
But I can't completely a-gree.
D
'Cause this brother here, he didn't die for no country,
G
He died for me.
[Chorus]
G C G
Touch a name on the wall, Touch a name on the wall,
D G
Lord, help us all. Touch a name on the wall..
G
Now, Usually walls are just made for division.
C
They separate me from you
D
But God bless the wall that brings us together,
G
And reminds us of what we've been through.
To hell with the liars and the tin-plated heroes,
C
That trade on the blood of these men.
D G
And God give us the strength to stand up and tell 'em, "Never a-gain!"
[Chorus]
G C G
Touch a name on the wall, Touch a name on the wall,
D G
Lord, help us all. Touch a name on the wall.
G C G
Touch a name on the wall, Touch a name on the wall,
D G
Lord, help us all. Touch a name on the wall.
