B C#m
He came home to Tennessee a young man at the end of forty-five
F#7 B
Only one of seven men in his platoon that made it back alive
He must have seen some tough times
C#m
But he never talked too much about all of that
F#7
Put his pictures and his memories in the cedar chest
C#m F#7 B
Everything but his old army hat
C#m
By the time I graduated the winds of change had blown across our land
F#7
They were burning flags and draft cards
B
When they bothered to take some kind of stand
And we used to laugh at grandpa
C#m
Like he was some old relic from the past
F#7
Cause he never left the house less he was wearing
C#m F#7 B
That funny looking worn out army hat
E B
Every eye was on him anytime that he went anywhere
F#7
They whispered and they pointed
B
But you could tell that grandpa didn't care
E B
I ain't weaning this for them he said it's a whole lot more than that
C#m F#7
For my buddies who gave everything the least that I can do
C#m F#7 B
Is keep on wearing this old army hat
C#m
He called me up one morning said he'd seen it on the news on his tv
F#7 B
They've opened up a monument to World War II in Washington D.C.
I ain't getting any younger
C#m
And I wish someone would take me to see that
F#7
I couldn't help but think their gonna laugh at you up there
C#m F#7 B
If you show up in that silly army hat
C#m
Two strangers both saluted as grandpa walked up to the monument
F#7 B
One said thank you soldier for a job well done the other said amen
C#m
And a young boy said sir my daddy went to war and never made it back
F#7
Would you take a picture standing here beside me
C#m F#7 B
And maybe let me wear your army hat
E B
Every eye was on him and there was not a dry one in the crowd
F#7
They whispered and they pointed
B
And grandpa stood up extra tall and proud
E
He said son just keep it
B
When the young boy tried his best to give it back
C#m F#7
You're a brave little soldier son and every soldier needs
C#m F#7 B
His very own authentic army hat
C#m F#7
For your daddy who gave every thing the least that I can do
C#m F#7 B
Is pass on this old worn out army hat
