Chords for Billy Ray Cyrus - Nineteen (lyrics)

_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ 19, _ [A#m] a number on his back, voted captain of his [C#] high school football team
[A#m] Took us all the way to [F#] state, got a scholarship to [C#] play down in Tennessee
_ [F#] Said he could run, he could [G#] duck, he could throw, he could go like you'd never seen
_ [C#] 19, _ _ [A#m] on the day those [F#] twin tires came down, this [C#] whole world turned around
He _ [F] told them all, [F#] y'all we can't play [C#] ball as a world now
So he marched right in with a few good men [G#] and joined the Marines _
_ [C#] 19, _ [F#] he's a boy next [C#] door, [G#] he might have carried your [C#] bags at the grocery store
[F#] Now somebody's [C#] stalling on with a gun [G#] on some foreign land
Trying to hold on [A#m] to his American [F#]
dreams
[C#] _ _ 19, _ [A#m] there's a sniper out [F#] there in the dark somewhere [C#] and a soldier down
You [A#] need someone [F#] who can run, who can duck [C#] and go get him out
_ They tell one good man to raise his hand, [G#] take one for the team
How about you, [C#] 19?
_ _ [F#] He's a boy next [C#] door, he [G#] might have carried your [C#] bags at the grocery store
[F#] Now somebody's [C#] stalling on with a gun [G#] on some foreign land
Trying to hold on [A#] to his American [F#] _ dreams
[A#m] 19
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [A#m] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [A#m] Brought him home today [F#] with a big parade [C#] down on Main Street
_ [A#m] Gave him a Purple Heart, [F#] a Silver Star, a [C#] soldier gave a speech
Said [F#] he could run, he could duck, [C#] he could throw, he's the one that rescued me
[G#] Said he could have [F#] played for Tennessee _
_ _ _ _ [C#] Number 19, _ _ _ _ _ he was 19 _ _
