Capo 2
Intro: D
G
He won the war, in a foreign land
Bm
That was no hero, that was my old man
Em
And he came back home, where he met his wife
C
And he raised his kids, while he made a life
G
Now he never preached, though he always knew
Bm
And we watched him close, just to pick up clues
Em
And sometimes late, in the dead of night
C G
I can see him there, in the pale moon light
D
I am trying
C Em Am
And i don't know how
C Em Am
And i don't know when
C Em Am D G D
But i'll have to tell him someday
G
And as for this woman, my father wed
Bm
We knew we were loved, with the words unsaid
Em
And when we were young she taught us all to read
C
And then one by one, she would watch us leave
G
Never saw her cry, for she hid her tears
Bm
As one by one, we would disappear
Em
But of course we'd write, and of course we'd call
C G
Just to hear her voice, whenever we would fall
D
I am trying
C Em Am
And i don't know how
C Em Am
And i don't know when
C Em Am D G D
But i'll have to tell her someday
G
So i wrote these words, and i hope they last
Bm
For the years have come, and the years have past
Em
Think of all they gave, think of all the debt
C
But can't find a way, to repay them yet
G
For the days still come, and the debt still mount
Bm
And do words unsaid, ever really count
Em
But sometimes still, in the dead of night
C G
I can see them there, in the pale moon light
D
I am trying
C Em Am
And i don't know how
C Em Am
And i don't know when
C Em Am D G
But i'll have to tell them someday
