     A                                     

1.      I felt the earth on a Monday, it moved beneath my feet,

G

    in the form of the morning paper laid out for me to see.

A

    Saw his face in the corner picture, I recognized the name,

G

    could not stop staring at the face I'd never see again.

 

A                                              D         A

    It's the shade to a wicked world of pain, 

                                                     C                  D

    what does it mean, when the war is taking over?

A                                             D            A

    It's the same every day, I heard my name,

                                         C                  D

    why can't we see the worry's left to hold on?

     A                                     

1.      Medals on a wooden mantle next to a handsome face,

G

    that the President took for granted, writing cheques that others pay.

A

    And in all the madness thought becomes nothing, oh yeah,

G

    so much to talk about, yet nothing for us to say.

 

A                                                       D                   A

    It's the same every day and the weight won't break,

                                                   C                      D

    how're you to pray while the devil's on his shoulder?

 

 

 

 

 

 

A                                               D          A

    Laying claims to the tainted soldier, said

                                           C                    D

    not gonna quit and the truth's already out there.
