*Instead of doing Em in the intro and outro, I do a G with added E note on D string

G                                                           Em
HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT AND YOU WERE THERE
C                                                                              D
RUNNING YOUR FINGERS THROUGH YOUR LONG BLONDE HAIR
G                                       Em
ON THE TABLE WAS A PHOTOGRAPH
                      C                                         D
YOU WERE PATIENTLY PENNING A PARAGRAPH
G                                                      Em
HE’S YOUR BEST FRIEND AND NOW HE’S GONE
    C                                                                      D
A TWO YEAR TOUR OF DUTY SOME HOW SEEMS WAY TOO LONG


(CHORUS)
                            G      C                    D
(FOR THE) THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE
          G                             C                   D
HE’S DOING WHAT HE WANTS TO DO
                                        G       C                    D
AND EVERYTHING IS RED, WHITE AND BLUE
          G                                 C                                    D
HE’S STANDING UP FOR WHAT HE KNOWS IS TRUE

       G                                                              Em
HIS FAMILY CALLS HIM COLONEL, HE WAS THE SECOND SON
C                                                                              D
HE’S THE ONE THEY TURN TO, WHEN THEY NEED TO GET THINGS DONE.
                           G                                                                 Em
THE SPITTING IMAGE OF HIS FATHER, THOUGH HIS DAD DIED OVERSEAS
C                                                                                        D
HE’S THE ONE THAT COULD FILL HIS SHOES, HIS FAMILY ALL AGREES

                       G
   WITH THE RED…   (TO CHORUS)

                      G                                                         Em
SO YOU’RE HOPING AND YOU’RE PRAYING FOR HIS SAFE RETURN
C                                                   D
WATCHING CNN, LEARNING ALL THAT YOU CAN LEARN
                   G                                                 Em
YOU’RE A BUNDLE OF EMOTION, ALL BOTTLED UP INSIDE
                         C                                                               D
AND YOU’RE SHARING THE DEVOTION WITH AN OCEAN FULL OF PRIDE

                    G
   FOR THE RED………(TO CHORUS)
