J.P. Cormier - Hometown battlefield

He ^Ggot home from the service, as the ^Dspring began its turn ^GTwelve long ^Emmonths a^Bmway He ^Gfolded up his uniform with the ^Dmedals tucked inside Started ^Gliving for to^Aday

But the ^Gpresent could not find him, nor ^Dcould his wife and kids He was ^Gthere but ^Emhe was ^Bmgone ^GSoon his only comfort was a ^Dbottle and his gun Something ^Gright that went so ^Awrong

And the ^Bmsilence keeps on ^Gcoming as the ^Dmovie plays again You can ^Bmsmell that yellow ^Gdust and death ^Dhanging on the ^Awind And we ^Bmthought the war was ^Gover but the ^Dheadlines do ^Areveal That ^Danother soldier died today on the ^Ahometown battle^Dfield ^D

He ^Gsits outside the courthouse with his ^Dpant legs tucked away And ^Gno one ^Emknows his ^Bmname ^GOne wrong step there in the sand put him ^Dwhere he is today ^GOne more just the ^Asame

^GAll his memories live there in the ^Dspace below his knees ^GBack when ^Emhe was ^Bmwhole But that ^GIED didn't just re^Dlieve him of his legs It ^Gblew apart his ^Asoul

And the ^Bmsilence keeps on ^Gcoming as the ^Dmovie plays again You can ^Bmsmell that yellow ^Gdust and death ^Dflying) on the ^Awind And we ^Bmthought the war was ^Gover but the ^Dheadlines do ^Areveal That ^Danother soldier died today on the ^Ahometown battle^Dfield ^{D D}

^AIf you're wearing loafers, you ain't ^Gwalked the burning ^Dsand And ^Ayou ain't never had to shoot ^Ganother livin' ^Dman It don't ^Emmatter if we ^Dwon, it don't ^Gmatter if we ^Dlost They were ^Emfollowing their ^Dorders, no ^Gmatter the ^Acost ^A

So I ^Gremember what they've given when I ^Dsee my flag unfurled ^GFree a^Emgainst the ^Bmsky And the ^Gway we seem to lose them when they ^Dget back to the world Can ^Gsomeone tell me ^Awhy

And the ^Bmsilence keeps on ^Gcoming as the ^Dmovie plays again You can ^Bmsmell that yellow ^Gdust and death ^Dhanging on the ^Awind And we ^Bmthought the war was ^Gover but the ^Dheadlines do ^Areveal That ^Danother soldier died today on the ^Ahometown battle^Dfield ^D Yes we ^Bmpray the war is ^Gover but the ^Dheadlines do ^Areveal That ^Danother soldier died today on the ^Ahometown battle^Dfield ^D
