[Verse]
G Em What can you see from your window? G Em I can't see anything from mine. G Em Flags on the side of the highway C/G G D and scripture on grocery store signs. G Em Maybe eighteen was too early. G Em Maybe thirty or forty is too. G Em Did you get your chance to make peace with the man C/G G D before he sent down his angels for you?
[Chorus]
Em D G Mamas and grandmamas love you Em D G G/F# 'cause that's all they know how to do. Em Bm You never planned on the bombs in the sand C Cm G or sleeping in your dress blues.

[Verse]
G Em Your wife said this all would be funny G Em when you came back home in a week. G Em You'd turn twenty-two and we'd celebrate you C/G G D in a bar or a tent by the creek. G Em Your baby would just about be here. G Em Your very last tour would be up G Em but you won't be back. They're all dressing in black C/G G D drinking sweet tea in styrofoam cups.
[Chorus]
Em D G Mamas and grandmamas love you Em D G G/F# American boys hate to lose. Em Bm You never planned on the bombs in the sand C Cm G or sleeping in your dress blues.

[Verse]
G Em Now the high school gymnasium's ready, G Em full of flowers and old legionnaires. G Em Nobody showed up to protest, C/G G D just sniffle and stare. G Em But there's red, white, and blue in the rafters G Em and there's silent old men from the corps. G Em What did they say when they shipped you away C/G G D to give all in some god awful war
[Chorus]
Em D G Nobody here can forget you. Em D G G/F# You showed us what we had to lose. Em Bm You never planned on the bombs in the sand C Cm G or sleeping in your dress blues. Em Bm You never planned on the bombs in the sand C Cm G or sleeping in your dress blues. Em Bm You never planned on the bombs in the sand C Cm G or sleeping in your dress blues.
