Verse 1
Am
He stood in the shade
Em
by the watermelon glade
Am
And stared into a land
Em
he used to understand
F
C
When the old rebel grey of Shiloh still flew
Am
Em
Am
Still shimmered in the red, white and blue
And while memories remain
Em
in the tap of his cane
Am
It's the rhythm of years
Em
that hold back the pain
F
When life around Portia
Am
Em
Am
Well, he fought for you in 1942
F
But old Glory hangs limp
C
in Uncle Sam's dead hair
Am
And the old man just stares
Em
Am
for the son of his son over there
F
Are we fighting for freedom,
F
Are we fighting for nothing
C
but those lies that we're told?
Dm
Em
Oh, over there, over there,
Am
when the truth is laid bare
Dm
Does the banner hang straight
Am
Dm
in that hot desert air
Em
Am
Dm
Em
Am
And now the mailbox hangs rotten
Em
And he's never forgotten
Am
Em
A letter that said what they already knew
F
When Mama weeped every day
Am
When her boy came home
Em
Am
in the red, white and blue
Well, Daddy rocks in his chair,
Em
he's brittle and threadbare
Am
And still in between shadows
Em
and the cold nightmares
F
Are the ghosts of those young boys
Em
Am
and the black sands of hell
F
But all glory hangs limp
C
in Uncle Sam's dead hair
Am
And the old man just stares
Em
by the son of his son
F
Are we fighting for freedom,
F
Are we fighting for nothing
C
but those lies that we're told?
Dm
Em
Over there, over there,
Am
when the truth is laid bare
Dm
Does the banner hang stained
Am
in that hot desert air?
Dm
Em
Over there, over there,
Am
when the truth is laid bare
Dm
Does the banner hang stained
Am
Dm
in that hot desert air?
Em

And the old man just stares
Em

over there.
