If it pl^Gease the court I've had a l^Fot to say And it's n^Cot always been true^G St^Ganding here before you, j^Fudge I make m^Cy pledge of truth to y^Gou

[Verse 2]

The w^Gaves came over the b^Fowsprit The decks aw^Cash with running green and f^Goam B^Gack there at the wheel I was t^Ferrified Next d^Cay we first saw home^G

[Verse 3]

My r^Gelatives came over on the M^Fayflower L^Canded on the shore almost^G alone N^Go that damn traffic tod^Fay is terrible And everywh^Cere I look I see people al^Gone

[Verse 4]

Al^Gone with their heads looking^F in their hands L^Cost in the conversation s^Gtare W^Galking with their eyes looking ^Fat the screen Talking^C like they were really there^G

[Instrumental] G F C G [Verse 5]

I'm l^Gost in this new generation^F Left me beh^Cind it seems^G L^Gistening to the shadow of Jimi H^Fendrix "Purple H^Caze", sounding like TV^G

[Verse 6]

I st^Gepped on someone's hand l^Faying on the street B^Coth asleep and dead it m^Gay seem He d^Gidn't even move there on the s^Fidewalk I st^Cood there staring in a dream^G

[Verse 7]

She c^Game along in her unif^Form Stood m^Coving me away with a gentle h^Gand Dr^Gessed in white like a nighting^Fale Her name was Fl^Corence, Florence of the L^Gand (I kn^Gew I'd seen her s^Fomewhere) ^C ^G

[Verse 8]

I kn^Gew I'd seen her somewhere^F But she was b^Cusy with him gone^G She c^Game with three different brothers^F ^CAbraham, Martin and John^G

[Verse 9]

I h^Geard a song about that once^F And I never knew wh^Cat it meant^G Three st^Gars died in a plane one n^Fight Rock and R^Coll, the message that was sent^G

[Verse 10]

I c^Gouldn't wrap my head around ^Fit Didn't know what it m^Ceant ^G St^Ganding there on that sand^Fy beach W^Catching it turn to cement^G

[Verse 11]

N^Gow I don't see all the c^Folors And I might m^Ciss some of their beauty^G But I d^Go see what I see ^F And I w^Cant to do my duty^G

[Verse 12]

Enl^Gisted in the Navy at the c^Forner store They h^Cad a recruiting booth^G I c^Govered my heart and r^Faised my hand And sw^Core it was the truth^G

[Outro]

^G That's my pledge^F ^C ^G That's my pl^Gedge^F ^C That's my pledge, judge^G G F C ^G That's my pledge G F C G
