Tonart: D major•
Verse 1
D
He came home to Tennessee,
Em
a young man at the end of forty -five
A
Only one of seven men in his platoon
D
A
D
that made it back alive
He must have seen some tough times,
but he never talked too
A
Em
much about all that
A
Put his pictures and his memories
D
A
D
in the cedar chest
Em
A
D
Everything but his old army hat
By the time I graduated,
the winds of change had
Em
blown across our land
A
They were burning flags and draft cards
when they bothered to take
D
A
D
some kind of stand
And we used to laugh at Grandpa
Em
like he was some old relic from the past
A
Cause he never left the house
lest he was wearing
D
Em
A
D
That funny looking worn out army hat
D
Anytime that he went anywhere
A
They whispered and they pointed
D
But you could tell that Grandpa didn't care
G
I ain't wearing this for them, he said
D
It's a whole lot more than that
Em
For my bud dies who gave everything
A
the least that I could do
Em
A
D
Is keep on wearin' this old army hat
He called me up one morning
Said he'd seen it on the
monument to World War II
D
A
D
in Washington, D .C. I ain't gettin' any younger,
Em
and I wish someone would take me to see that
A
I couldn't help but think
they're gonna laugh at you up there
Em
A
D
If you show up in that silly army hat
Two strangers both saluted
as grandpa walked up to the monument
Em
A
One said thank you soldier
for a job well done,
And a young boy said sir my daddy went
Em
to war and never made it back
A
Would you take a picture

A

standing here beside me?
D
Em
A
D
And maybe let me wear your army hat
D
And there was not a dry one in the crowd
A
They whispered and they pointed
D
And Grandpa stood up extra tall and proud
G
He said, son, just keep it
When the young boy tried his best
Em
You're a brave little soldier, son
A
And every soldier needs
Em
A
D
His very own authentic army hat
Em
For your daddy who gave everything
A
The least that I can do
Em
A
D
Is pass on this old worn -out army hat
A
Oh, for spacious skies,
Em
A
D
for amber waves of grain,
A
D
A
for purple mountain majesties
Ebdim
E
A
above the fruited plain.

America, America,
Em

God shed His grace on thee,
G
D
And crown thy good with brotherhood
Em
A
D
From sea to shining sea.
