[Intro] D Dsus4 D [Verse 1]
D                         G                       D
I saw her from a distance as she walked up to the wall

D                                 G                     A7sus4   A7
In her hand she held some flowers as her tears began to fall

    D                      G               D
She took out pen and paper as to trace her memories

    Em                  A7sus4  A7                  D    Dsus4    D
She looked up to heaven and the words she said were these
[Chorus]
D7       G                                               D
She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me

    G                                             A7sus4   A7
And oh I'd love to see him just one more time you see

      G                                        D     A/C#   Bm
All I have are the memories and the moments to recall

   Em                           A7sus4      A7               D    Dsus4    D
So Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall
[Verse 2]
D                                    G                       D
She said he really missed the family being home on Christmas day

D                               G                 A7sus4   A7
And he died for God and country in a place so far away

  D                          G                        D
I remember just a little boy playing war since he was three

    Em                    A7sus4   A7             D    Dsus4    D
And Lord this time I know he's not coming home to me
[Chorus]
D7       G                                               D
She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me

    G                                             A7sus4   A7
And oh I'd love to see him but I know it just can't be

      G                                        D     A/C#   Bm
All I have are the memories and the moments to recall

    Em                           A7sus4       A7          D    Dsus4    D
But Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall

Em                           A7sus4      A7          D    Dsus4    D
Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall
