[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab] Cigarettes and a bottle of beer
This poem that [Eb] I wrote for you
This [Ab] black stone and these hot tears
Girl, I got a lift [Eb] now of you
I [Cm] remember you in the Marine uniform
[Eb] Leavin' at your Chappelle party
I [Cm] read Robert [Eb] McNamara says he's sorry
Your [Ab] high boots and striped T-shirt
I believe you [Eb] looked so bad
[Ab] You and your rock and roll band
You were the best thing this shit [Eb] town ever had
[C] Now the men who [Cm] put you here eat with [Eb] their families
In rich dining halls
And [Cm] apology and forgiveness
[Eb] Got no place here at all
[Ab] Here at the Wham [Eb]-Ham
[Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Cm] [Bb]
[Eb] [Cm]
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
[Ab] Well, I'm sorry I missed you last year
Couldn't find no one to drive [Eb] me
If [Ab] your eyes could cut through that black stone
Tell me would [Eb] they recognize me?
[C] For [Cm] the living time it must be, [Eb] sir
As the day goes on
[C] Cigarettes and a bottle [Bb] of beer
Skin on [Eb] black stone
On the [Ab] ground dog tags and wreaths of flowers
With ribbons red [Eb] as the blood
[Ab] Red as the blood you spilled
In the central [Eb] Highlands mud
[Cm] Limousines rush down Pennsylvania Avenue
[Eb] Rustling the leaves as they fall
[Cm] And apology and forgiveness
Got no [Bb] place [Eb] here at all
[Ab] Here at the Wham [Eb]-Ham
