I'm uploading this because I couldn't seem to find it online and had to
self-teach it by ear. If I've gotten the chords wrong, I apologize, let me
know and I'll try to fix it. One way or another, I'm putting this here so
someone else can get the same enjoyment out of this song that I do.
Intro: E
E
When my girl got pregnant well I dropped right out of school
A
But there's no work in South Hill so what else could I do?
E
The recruiter's came-a-knocking when this whole damn thing began
B5 E
They promised me a college education food and medicine
E
They said I wouldn't spend a dime if I got deployed overseas
A
Plus Baghdad is safer now than old Washington, DC
E
So I signed that dotted line right quick and in a blink of an eye
B5 E
I found myself at Fort Benning where I practiced forming lines
E
Well Fallujah became my home, my comfort and my dread
A
The marines that came through first man they tore this place to shreds
E
With the sound of crushing Amtracs and the whine of their Humvee's
B5 E
Calling in them A-10 air strikes man I wish I could have seen it
E
But when we got to town I realized we were only legs
A
We do dismounted patrols we do searches and do raids
E
We hear the crack of small arms fire and the blast from IED's
B5 E
We hurry up and wait, suck in dust and stay low key
B5 A E
And I cannot stop this pounding in my head
B5 A E
I thought we were doing right but that's not what folks back home have said
A B5 E A
Sometimes I can't tell which way is up or which is down
B5 A
But I'm oddly at ease with this chaos all around
E
Then one day out on patrol doing time out in the heat
A
We were ordered to a neighborhood to talk to folks out on the street
E
To gather information on where some weapons may be stored
B5 E
Or to see if the Mujahideen had hauled them off out of Fallujah and to the north
E
Well my platoon got lost and made more then one wrong turn
A
We should have called in our position fast but we blamed each other first
E
Then we started taking sniper fire - god damn them all
B5 E
We couldn't find the shooter no where he had us pinned down one and all
E
Well friendies they caught up and we took back that god damned street
A
But something wasn't right and I was feeling really weak
E
My adrenaline was high and I was scared and I could hardly breathe
B5 E
I heard doc argue with the Sarg that morphine might kill me
E
That's the last thing I remember that and heat and clear blue sky
A
And thinking about my girl back home and my daughters little eyes
E
I took that bullet in Fallujah and I'm laid up in Germany
B5 E
And I'm headed back stateside to the care of Walter Reed
B5 A E
And I cannot feel a thing below my waist
B5 A E
Doc tried to help me man but it was too late
A B5 E A
Now I don't know who is right or who is wrong
B5 E
But I'm ed up and I want to go back home
B5 A E
And I cannot stop this pounding in my head
B5 A E
I thought we were doing right but that's not what folks back home have said
A B5 E A
Sometimes I can't tell which way is up or which is down
B5 E
But one day I'll stand firmly on the ground
B5 E
Yes one day I'll stand firmly on the ground
