Number on his back

Took us all the way to State

                                  C
Got a scholarship to play down in Tennessee

              F
Said he could run, he could duck

        G
Like you never seen

        C
Nineteen

       F
On the day those twin towers came down

                C
His whole world turned around

F
He told them all, "You all, I can't play ball

          C
There's a war on now"

      F
So he marched right in with a few good men

    G
And joined the Marines

F
He's the boy next door

              G                        C
He might have carried your bags at the grocery store

         F
Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun

        G
In some foreign land

                         F                          C
Trying to hold on to his American Dreams, nineteen

F
There's a sniper out there in the dark somewhere

      C
And a soldier down

F
Need someone who can run, who can duck

       C
And go get him out

F
It takes one good man to raise his hand

      G
Take one for the team

F
He's the boy next door

              G                        C
He might have carried your bags at the grocery store

         F
Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun

        G
In some foreign land

                         F                Am
Trying to hold on to his American Dreams, nineteen

F
Brought him home today

                            C
With the big parade down on main street

           F
Gave him a purple heart, a silver star

        C
Soldier gave a speech

                F
Said, "He could run, he could duck, he could throw

                 G
He's the one who rescued me"

                                F
Said, "He could have played for Tennessee"

           C
Um, number nineteen
