James Otto - Soldiers and jesus

^CGrand-daddy came home in a ^FB-5^C2 In a pine box covered in ^Gred, white and ^Fblue He was one of the brave and the ^Gproud and the ^Amfew ^{G C}

^CTwenty-one guns helped ^Fus say good^Cbye I stood there in silence tryin' ^Ghard not to ^Fcry As the preacher, he quoted, lines ^Gwritten in ^Amred^{G C} And then he ^Cfolded his bible and in a ^Gbroken voice, he ^Csaid

There's ^Fonly two people who's ^Cevery died for me ^GLaid down their lives just so ^CI could be free They ^Fboth went through hell, beared ^Ccrosses and shells And ^Gboth got back up again ^Cafter they fell

They ^Fnever picked the fight, but they're ^Cthere To ^Gpick up the ^Ampieces

^FGod only knows who we'd ^Gbe without soldiers and ^CJesus

It ^Cseems like the news loves to ^Frun 'em both ^Cdown But whenever we need 'em, they're ^Galways ^Faround So don't hand me a party's ^Gpolitical ^Amviews 'Cause they're a ^Cleft side, a right side, and ^Gthen there's the ^Ctruth

There^F's only two people who^C's every died for me ^GLaid down their lives just so ^CI could be free They ^Fboth went through hell, beared ^Ccrosses and shells And ^Gboth got back up again ^Cafter they fell

They ^Fnever picked the fight, but they're ^Cthere To ^Gpick up the ^Ampieces

To ^Fme, they're both heroes for the ^Gpath that they ^Amchose 'Cause one ^Cfights for my life, one f^Gights for my s^Coul

There^F's only two people who^C's every died for me ^GLaid down their lives just so ^CI could be free They ^Fboth went through hell, beared ^Ccrosses and shells And ^Gboth got back up again ^Cafter they fell

They ^Fnever picked the fight, but they're ^Cthere To ^Gpick up the ^Ampieces

^FGod only knows where we'd ^Gbe without soldiers and J^Cesus S^Foldiers and ^CJesus
