[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
There's teddy bears and high school rings

C
And old photographs that mommas bring

G                                        D7
The daddies with their young boys playing ball

There's combat boots that he used to wear

When he was sent over there

There's 50,000 names carved in the wall
[Verse 2]
G
There's cigarettes and there's cans of beer

C
And notes that say I miss you dear

G                                      D7
And children who don't say anything at all

G
There's purple hearts and packs of gum

C
Fatherless daughters and fatherless sons

G                  D7                  G
And there's 50,000 names carved in the wall
[Bridge]
     C
They come from all across this land

G
In pickup trucks and mini-vans

D7                            G
Searching for a boy from long ago

They scan the wall and find his name

The teardrops fall like pouring rain

And silently they leave a gift and go
