American Legion Chords

[Intro]
A D A D F C Bb G
 
[Verse 1]
A          D               A            D
 In the streetlight, your hair is the blackest sky
A             D             F#m       D
 Through the snow, the cars silently pass us by.
A          Bm               F#m        D
 When you smile, there's no reason to say goodbye
E           A
Don't say goodbye
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A          D               A            D
 I still have the last letter you left for me
A          D             F#m            D
 All your t-shirts, your red and green pedigree
A         Bm            F#m        D
 All the rest is sealed up behind memory
E       A
Fading away.

[Verse 3]
A          D           A       D
 On the steps of the American Legion Hall,
A          D             F#m    D
 You wait there alone, nobody left to call.
A          Bm           F#m            D
 No one's there again Spring, summer, winter, fall,
E          A
Terrible day

[Verse 4]
A         D               A           D
 If I'd been there, I'd surely have stayed with you.
A         D              F#m          D
If I'd been there, I'd surely have prayed for you
A         Bm             F#m          D
If I'd been there, I'd surely have prayed for you
   E           A
I want you to know
