[D] [B]
This happened a few weeks ago.
We were, uh, me and Luke and a couple soldiers were standing on the loading dock of the club that [Fm] I was playing that [E] night.
And, uh, the soldiers were telling us stories of [G] all the different times they got blown up and shocked.
[D#] And, [C#] you know, put their asses on the [C#m] line for us.
[Am] And, [A#] uh, [E] in the middle of all this, [C] Luke, my [F#] guitar player, [G] [E] was like, hey guys, you know, this is kind of weird, but can I play you guys a song that I wrote for the soldiers?
And, uh, so I was smart enough to stick around and listen to this song that got played.
And [N] I was so moved by the song that I feel like we need to play it for you.
