Some Gave All
View chords used in this chart
Em
Few folks even knew his name
C D
But a hero yes was he
G
He left a boy, came back a man
Em
Still many just don't understand
C D
About the reasons we are free
C D G
I can't forget the look in his eyes
D/F# Em
Or the tears he cried
C D
As he said these words to me
chorus:
G A D Dsus2
All gave some, some gave all
G A D D7
Some stood through for the red, white and blue and some had to fall
C D
And if you ever think of me
G D/F# Em C
Think of all your liberties and recall
D
Some gave all
Now Sam 'the Cane' is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood the ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man
Love your country, live with pride
And don't forget those who died
America can't you see?
chorus
Thanks to Sean Compton who provided the lyrics, I only changed
'Sam Duquane' in Sam 'the Cane' which sounds more like it, and even
could make sense too...
This song sounds much better played on piano, but good luck anyway
Sean, sorry it took me so long
