He had his second heart attack
A E
Last summer but hes still goin

Theres a melancholy in his eyes
E/G#
For all of you who care enough
Cadd9 E

Well, that twelve year old became a man
E/G# Cadd9
Eleven years too soon in Vietnam
E
With his best friend Tommy

They were tough as nails and southern born
E/G# Cadd9
And awfully proud to wear that uniform

Then things got scary
C#m F#sus
On April 4th, Tommy left for Heaven
