[F] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ [G] _ [Gm] _ [D] I light [Dm] dozed off in the back of the bus [C] to the drone of the Greyhound's throttle,
[Gm] and I woke to the crack [D] of the paper sack [C] and a cork popping from a bottle.
[Gm] I tell you son, the old man said he was [F] hailing World [Bb] War II. _
_ [Dm] As he rolled up his pant leg, [C] I saw the wood [Dm] that filled his shoe. _ _

showed [Dm] the older soldier where [C] he caught one in the chest.

[Dm] They were halfway through that bottle, [C] and they were getting high.
[F] I'd never fought in those two [C] wars, but Lord, my throat was dry.
[Gm] So I showed them scars and stitches [F] inflicted [Bb] by Maria.
_ _ [Dm] But I didn't think that'd get me a [C] drink, so I blamed it [Dm] on Korea. _
I parted my hair and I showed them [C] where I got shrapnel from a grenade.
I [Dm] just couldn't tell it was where Annabelle broke a [C] glass of laminate.
[Bb] And how that I'd been tortured [F] by the blade of [Bb] a bayonet.
And [Dm] I'll never forget that hot August [C] night and the fingernails [F] of Jeanette.

_ [Dm] Partly from the drinking, _ [C] but mostly from my lies.
[Bb] And they stood up to salute [F] me as I stepped down [Bb] from the bus.
