[Intro]
| D | F | C | G | 2x

[Verse 1]
D                             F
Best of days livin' a simple life
              C                                          G
There's nowhere to go when there's only one stop light
          D                                  F
His grandmother told him "Don't you dare sign up
             C                          G
They'll ship you away to places we ain't heard of
D                  F
Get a degree, and maybe be a doctor
C                               G
Just ask your daddy, it won't matter once they got ya
D                                 F
Lifetimes you could spend to find out what she meant
C                                   G
Her final dyin' breath, this is what she said"

[Chorus]
D                             F
"Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us
C                                  G
Ashes to ashes, turns out steel still rusts
D                                 F
Stone carved in your name, no one can really trust
C                              G
Shoulder another soldier they stole from us
D                       F
Don't ever bend, don't ever crawl
C                          G
Supposed to stand and never fall
D                            F
Long gone is the praise for those who fought for us
C                                  G
Ashes to ashes, turns out steel still rusts"
D         F                                 C
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
G
And steel still rusts
D                F                          C     G
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

[Verse 2]
     D                           F
A third of his life off in a foreign land
C                                         G
Thanks for your service, sincerely, Uncle Sam
D                          F
Lost the best of friends he'd ever known
        C                                       G
And no line of welcome signs once he got back home
D                 F
He got a job, a doorman at a dive bar
C                              G
Became a bodyguard, protecting famous rock stars
D                            F
Lost count of the times he's been around the world
C                                           G
Promised grandmama he'd never lose these words

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]
| Bb | F | C | G | Bb | F | C | C |

[Instrumental]
| D | F | C | G |

[Bridge]
D                           F
Forever feel the wounds that never heal
            C                                    G
When fallen friends are now a line of crosses in a field

[Ulangi Chorus]
