[Intro]
E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4
E Bsus4
[Verse 1]
E Esus4
We show up every morning
E Bsus4
Our uniforms are pressed
E Esus4 E Bsus4
All spit and polish, we have to look our best
C#m Bsus4
This message that we carry
E Asus4
Is a heavy load to bear
E Esus4 E
For those who pay the price with sacrifice
Bsus4 E Esus4 E Bsus4
We have to show we care
[Verse 2]
E Esus4 E Bsus4
Everybody has a duty, a way that they can shine
E Esus4
The ones who go over there
E Bsus4
And those who stay behind
C#m B E Asus4
Some ain't coming back, reality is grim
E Esus4 E
It's up to me and Sergeant Jack
Bsus4 E
To break the news to them
[Chorus]
C#m Bsus4 E A
We're the two soldiers no one wants to see
E Esus4
In a plain black sedan
C#m A
Rolling slowly down the street
C#m Bsus4
Past the toys and the bikes
E A
Beneath the maple trees
E Esus4
Where fading yellow ribbons
E Bsus4
Wave gently in the breeze
C#m B
A loved one's in a better place
E A
They won't be back no more
E Bsus4 E Esus4
Now there's two soldiers at the door
[Guitar Solo]
E Bsus4 E Esus4 E Bsus4 E Esus4
E Bsus4
[Verse 3]
E Esus4
Sometimes they see us coming
E Esus4
And fall down on their knees
E Esus4
Tears are overflowing
E Bsus4
Crying no, God, please.
C#m Bsus4 E A
Sometimes they just stand there, silent as a stone
E Esus4 E
With no surprise in their eyes
Bsus4 E Esus4 E Bsus4
Like they knew it all along
[Verse 4]
E Esus4 E Bsus4
See the soldiers on the tarmac, ready to deploy
E Esus4 E B
Husbands and wives with little girls and boys
C#m Bsus4 E A
Say a silent prayer they all come back alive
E Esus4 E Bsus4 E Esus4 E
And never see Jack and me pull up in their drive
[Chorus]
C#m Bsus4 E A
We're the two soldiers no one wants to see
E Esus4
In a plain black sedan
C#m A
Rolling slowly down the street
C#m Bsus4
Past the toys and the bikes
E A
Beneath the maple trees
E Esus4
Where fading yellow ribbons
E Bsus4
Wave gently in the breeze
C#m B
A loved one's in a better place
E A
They won't be back no more
E Bsus4 E Esus4 E Bsus4
Now there's two soldiers at the door
E Bsus4 E Esus4
Now there's two soldiers at the door
[Outro]
E Bsus4 E Esus4 E Bsus4
E Esus4 E Bsus4 E Esus4
E Bsus4 E Esus4 E
