[Verse 1]
D                                 G                D
There's a wind blowing sand in my eyes don't you know

D                    G           D
It follows me around wherever I go

D                    G              D
It get's in my rifle, it gets in my gun

D       A                    G                   D
There's no sign of leavin... there's no place to run

D                                G              D
Well I signed up before those two towers came down

D                          G               D
I'd worked every bullshit low rent job in town

D                              G              D
I thought that I'd get out and see some great lands

D            A                      G                  D
Instead I'm stuck in this desert... my boots in the sand
[Chorus]
G                      D         G                    D
Never thought that I'd be here...That I'd be here so long

G                      D                  A
I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do...Keep on keeping on

G                        D         G                  D
Someday I'll be home to see you...In the land of the brave

Sittin right there on that barstool next to you

A                                                 D      A  D

Well my best friend he died, just yesterday

D                            G                D
He wanted to go home, but I'm sure not this way

D                           G                D
His wife she just left him, before this past tour

D     A                          G                   D
She said she couldn't take it..she don't have to anymore

D                         G              D
In a box with a flag he's heading back home

D                       G             D
I got no place to go... nowhere to roam

D                              G            D
Sometimes I just wish this was all some bad dream

D      A                      G            D      D D D
I wake up in the night...I just have to scream
[Chorus]
G                      D         G                    D
Never thought that I'd be here...That I'd be here so long

G                      D                  A
I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do...Keep on keeping on

Someday I'll be home to see you...In the land of the brave

D                                G            D
it's been a couple years mom and dad lent a hand

D                        G                    D
no more rifles or guns...no more boots in the sand
[Chorus 2]

I'm just so glad to be here...to be here with you

G                      D    A

G                       D         G                  D
Told you I'd be home to see you...In the land of the brave

That's where I'm gonna stay....thats where I'm gonna stay
