Nathan Fair - Fallen Soldier

      [Intro] 
G D Cadd9
 
[Verse]
G                  D         Cadd9
The medal that his dad gave him
G            D              Cadd9
Tucked away in his duffle bag
G             D                     Cadd9
He said don't worry about a thing, Pops
G                 D                  Cadd9*
You'll be gettin' this when I'll get back

[Solo]
G D Cadd9 

[Verse]
G        D       Cadd9 
Walkin' down the road
G            D                Cadd9
Through the city on a routine patrol
G           D                   Cadd9
Shots rang out and he hits the ground
G         D       Cadd9
Sergeant yells a "Man down"

[Chorus]
G               D              Cadd9
This is for the ones who ain't comin' back
G               D               Cadd9
Who fought for their country in Iraq
G             D                 Cadd9
And they left their families at home
G            D            Cadd9
To come over here and die alone

[Verse]
G             D               Cadd9
I carried his coffin onto the plane
G                      D               Cadd9
And gave a salute as they read off his name
G          D          Cadd9
We packed away that duffle bag
G               D                        Cadd9
And the Silver Star that he got from his dad
G              D                          Cadd9
There was one old man when we got off the plane
G            D               Cadd9
With no one there for him to greet
G               D                    Cadd9
But the whole damn company shook his hand
G                        D                Cadd9
We were brothers to the son he will never see

[Verse]
G                D                    Cadd9
This is for the ones who ain't comin' back
G                    D          Cadd9
Who fought for their country in Iraq
G                    D           Cadd9
And they left their families at home
G            D            Cadd9
To come over here and die alone

[Chorus]
G                D                    Cadd9
This is for the ones who ain't comin' back
G                     D         Cadd9
Who fought for their country in Iraq
G                    D          Cadd9
And they left their families at home
G             D            Cadd9
To come over here and die alone

[Outro]
