G                          Em
What can you see from your window?
G                         Em
I can't see anything from mine.
G                        Em
Flags on the side of the highway
    C/G                       
and scripture on grocery store 
 G      D
signs.
G                      Em
Maybe eighteen was too early.
      G                  Em
Maybe thirty or forty is too.
    G                          
Did you get your chance to make 
 Em
peace with the man
          C/G                      
before he sent down his angels for 
G    D
you?

[Chorus]
Em        D          G
Mamas and grandmamas love you
       Em              D           
'cause that's all they know how to 
G  G/F#
do.
Em                       Bm
You never planned on the bombs in 
the sand
   C            Cm        G
or sleeping in your dress blues.

[Verse]
     G                           
Your wife said this all would be 
Em
funny
     G                       Em
when you came back home in a week.
      G                       
You'd turn twenty-two and we'd 
 Em
celebrate you
     C/G                  G      D
in a bar or a tent by the creek.
     G                     Em
Your baby would just about be here.
     G                       Em
Your very last tour would be up
    G                              
but you won't be back. They're all 
Em
dressing in black
         C/G                   
drinking sweet tea in styrofoam 
 G     D
cups.

[Chorus]
Em        D          G
Mamas and grandmamas love you
Em       D            G  G/F#
American boys hate to lose.

[Verse]
        G                      
Now the high school gymnasium's 
 Em
ready,
        G              
full of flowers and old 
        Em
legionnaires.
G                   Em
Nobody showed up to protest,
C/G              G     D
just sniffle and stare.
            G                      
But there's red, white, and blue in
     Em
 the rafters
            G                      
and there's silent old men from the
 Em
 corps.
G                           Em
What did they say when they shipped 
you away
        C/G                   G   D
to give all in some god awful war

[Chorus]
Em     D        G
Nobody here can forget you.
    Em             D         G  G/F#
You showed us what we had to lose.
Em                       Bm
