    Am            F        G          C
The day I shipped out they numbered a dozen

 Am       F             G          C
Upon my rejourn were a hundred or so

         Am                 F          G             C
From the coast and from the prairies I bet they keep coming

Am           F         G     C
Add one more name from Ontario
CHORUS
    G        C             F          C
And carry me home down the highway of heroes

G       C               Am           G
People above with their flags flying low

G        C               F          C
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes

G            C              F     C
True patriot love There was never more

VERSE 2
  Am          F              G          C
I served with distinction No visions of glory

  Am             F           G        C
I served without question of personal gain

        Am     F               G          C
Seek no justification It's not part of my story

       Am        F              G          C
And it offers no comfort to the ones who remain

People above with their flags flying low

Carry me softly down the highway of heroes

True patriot love There was never more

END FILL 2 G (strum once, let ring x 4 beats) VERSE 3
       Am      F            G            C
I took up my vocation I was called by my nation

    Am      F         G        C
Without hesitation my answer I gave

    Am       F            G             C
Now I am not wondering of things that I might've been

        Am      F             G         C
and I'm no consolation to the forgotten brave

People I love with their heads hung low

Carry me softly down the highway of heroes

G            C              F     C
True patriot love There was never more

          F     C
There was never more

There was never more
There was never more There was never more There was never more
