Em
He joined the Army in '42

                             D      G
Fightin' for his country and me and you

       Em
Didn't talk about his medals or what he'd seen

                             D        G
Was a man of few words about everything

   C
He wasn't in the paper or on TV

G                 D
Hollywood never called

Em
All he did for us we may never know

          D    Em
He's an unsung hero

          D    G
He's an unsung hero
[Chorus]
D                           Em
People like that, you don't know their name

    D                   Em
And you probably never will

            D                    G         C
They didn't do what they did for praise or fame

And he's an unsung hero

He's an unsung hero

He got a letter from the president

                     D       G
Lettin' him know how much it meant

   Em
To all the men and women of the USA

                                   D        G
For answerin' the call and for the price he paid

C
He put the letter in a dresser drawer

   G                       D
It never saw the light of day

Em
All he hid from us, we may never know

          D    Em
He's an unsung hero

          D    G
He's an unsung hero
[Chorus]
D                           Em
People like that, you don't know their name

    D                   Em
And you probably never will

            D                    G         C
They didn't do what they did for praise or fame

He's an unsung hero

He was a hard-workin' man and he loved his wife

                                D          G
Did everything he could to give her a good life

G
Active in his church and his garden too

                                D       G
Never had a lot of money but he made it through

C
I tip my hat to all the men like that

       G                      D
Who've ever fought to keep us free

He was my daddy's Daddy and I want you to know
