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