The day I shipped out they numbered a dozen

People above with their flags flying low

Carry me softly down the highway of heroes

True patriot love
     
                   Am   
There was never more


Am  - Fmaj7 - G - C
I served with distinction
No visions of glory
I served without question of personal gain
Seek no justification
It's not part of my story
And it all serves no comfort to the ones who remain

G - C - F - C - G - C - Am - G
Just carry me home down the highway of heroes
People above with the flags flying low
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
True patriot love
There was never more

Am - Fmaj7 - G - C
I took up my vocation
I was called by my nation
Without hesitation my answer I gave
Now I am not wondering of things that I might've been
I'm no consolation to the forgotten brave

G - C - F - C - G - C - Am - G
So carry me home down the highway of heroes
People above with the flags flying low
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
True patriot love
There was never more

End with:  Fmaj7 - C
