Tell my father that his son

That I bore his name with pride

As I tried to remember

As I rest 'neath fields of green

Let him lean on my shoulder

I was a man

Tell him we will meet again

          C                D
Where the angels learn to fly

Em                   D/F#  G  G7
Tell him we will meet as men

          C         Dsus   D   G
For with honor did I die

Tell him how I wore the Blue

Proud and true through the fire

Tell my father so he'll know

I love him so

Tell him how we wore the blue

Proud and true like he taught me

Tell my father not to cry

             C/G       G
Then say goodbye
