8th of November Big & Rich
intro: A G C
Verse:
[A]Said goodbye to his momma as he left south dakota
[G]to fight fot the red white and [C]blue
[A]He was nineteen in green with a new M-16
[G]Just doing what he had to [C]do
[A]He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble
[G]With the smell of napalm in the [C]air
[A]And the seargent said
[G]Look up ahea[C]d
[A]Like a dark evil cloud twelve hundred came down
[G]On him and twenty-nine [C]more
[A]They fought for their lives but most of them died
[G]In the 173rd [C]airborne
Chorus:
[A]On the 8th of November the angels were crying
[G]As they carried his brothers [C]away
[A]With the fire raining down and the hell all around
[G]There were few men left standing that [C]day
[A]Saw an eagle fly through a clear blue sky
[G]Nineteen-sixty-[C]five
the 8th of [A]November[G] [C]
[A]Now he's fifty-eight and his pony tail's gray
[G]But the battle still plays in his [C]head
[A]He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
[G]About the shrapnell they left in his [C]leg
[A]He puts on a suit over his airborne tatoo
[G]He ties it on one time a [C]year

[A]He remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one
[G]And swallows it down with his [C]tears
