Chords for Mitch Rossell - A Soldier's Memoir (Official Video)

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Been home about [G] six months now [Am] and I still have my doubts
[F] Well, I'm not sure [C] how I got here or how I'm gonna [G] get out
Well, [C] my mama says [Bm] I look the same [Am] as I did before I left
[F] But if she could see [C] inside of me it'd [G] scare her to death
[F] I can still taste the powder
[G] from the barrel of my gun
And [F] I can hear my sergeant screaming
[G] Run soldier run
And [F] I can feel the backpack on [C] my shoulders
[G] God, it weighed a ton
[Am] And I see death [G] in every [F] single thought
They [C] taught me how to put that uniform [G] on
I just can't get it [C] off
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[C] Last Saturday [G] they honored us [Am] in a small parade downtown
[F] When they shot off [C] those fireworks
[G] I nearly hit the ground
[C] While they smiled [Bm] and cheered for us [Am] all I could do was stare
Cuz [F] part of me [C] is here at home
But part of me's [G] back there
Well, [F] I can still taste the powder
[G] from the barrel of my gun
And [F] I can hear my sergeant screaming
[G] Run soldier run
And [F] I can feel the backpack on [C] my shoulders
God, [G] it weighed a ton
[Am] And I see death [G] in every single [F] thought _ _
[C] They taught me how to put that uniform on
[G] I just can't get it [Am] off
_ [G] Yeah, [F] there's no end [C] in sight
[Em]
[Am] Cuz even though [G] I'm home now, I'm [F] still fighting for my life
[F#] _
[C] _ _ [G] Well, [C] I can still taste the powder
from the barrel of my [G] gun
And [F] I can hear my [C] sergeant screaming
[G] Run soldier run
And [F] I can feel the backpack on my shoulders
[G] God, it weighed a ton
[Am] And I see death [G] in every single [F] thought
They [C] taught me how to put that uniform [G] on
I just can't get it [F] off _ _ _
_ _ [C] Well, the devil's won [G] some battles
And [Am] he may win some more
[G] But don't he [F] know
The [C] American soldier
Will [G] always win the war _ _ _
