_ 19, _ [A#m] number on his back, [F#] voted captain of his high [C#] school football team.
[A#] Took us all the way to state, [C#] got a scholarship to play down in Tennessee.
_ [F#] Said he could run, he could [C#] duck, he could throw, he could go like you've never seen.
[G#] _ [C#] 19, _ _ [A#m] on the day those twin [F#] tires came down, this [C#] whole world turned around. _
_ [A#] Told them all, [F#] y'all, we can't play [C#] ball as a world now. _
[F#] So we marched right [C#] in with a few good men [G#] and joined the Marines. _
[C#] 19, _ _ [F#] he's a boy next [C#] door,
you [G#] might have carried your [C#] bags at the grocery store.
[F#] Got somebody's [C#] son in a hole with a gun [G#] to some foreign land.
