[Intro]
Em C G
Em C G
[Verse]
Em C G
Hey old friend, it's been awhile
Em C G
I hope everything's well and you're doin' alright
Em C G
The things that I see, keep me up at night
Em C G
Most days I don't know if I'll get out alive
[Chorus]
Am C Em
War keeps raging on
Am C
Yeah, I'm holding on to hope
Em G
But the hope is almost gone
Am C Em
When life's a loaded gun
Am G
You wouldn't believe the things I've done
C D Em
But I'll tell you all about it, when I'm home
C G
Ho-oh-oh-ome
Em C G
Ho-oh-oh-ome
[Verse]
Em C G
Hey old friend, It's been a while
Em C G
Without you here, things don't seem right
Em C G
Your ribbon's fadin' out to white
Em
Drinking next to the barstool
C G
That you, left behind
[Break]
Cmaj7 G
I hope you come back soon
Cmaj7 D
Tonight, I bow my head, and say a prayer for you
[Chorus]
Am C Em
War keeps raging on
Am C
Keep holding on to hope
Em G
Even if hope feels like it's gone
Am C Em
When life's a loaded gun
Am G
Every day's a battle won
C D Em
And you'll tell you all about it, when you're home
C G
Ho-oh-oh-ome
Em C G
Ho-oh-oh-ome
[Verse]
Em C G
Hey old friend, it's been a while
Em C G
In my best suit, I came to say goodbye
Em C G
Billy man, gunned down at twenty one
Em C G
They folded your flag, and gave your text to your mom
[Verse]
Am C Em
War keeps raging on
Am C
Raise a glass to soldiers fightin'
Em G
Raise a glass to soldiers gone
Am C Em
'Cause life's a loaded gun
Am Bm
But I'll see you again, my old friend
C
When the good Lord
D G
When the good Lord calls me home
Hey old friend, it's been awhile
I hope everything's well and you're doing alright
The things that I see, keep me up at night
Most days I don't know if I'll get out alive
War keeps raging on
Yeah, I'm holding on to hope
But the hope's almost gone
When life's a loaded gun
You wouldn't believe the things I've done
But I'll tell you all about it, when I'm home
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
Hey old friend, It's been a while
Without you here, things don't seem right
Your ribbon's fadin' out to white
Drinking next to the barstool
That you, left behind
I hope you come back soon
Tonight, I bow my head, and say a prayer for you
War keeps raging on
Keep holding on to hope
Even hope feels like it's gone
When life's a loaded gun
Everyday's a battle won
And you'll tell me all about it, when your home
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
Hey old friend, it's been a while
In my best suit, I came to say goodbye
Barely a man, gunned down at 21
They folded your flag, and gave your tags to your mom
War keeps raging on
Raise a glass to soldiers fightin'
Raise a glass to soldiers gone
'Cause life's a loaded gun
But I'll see you again, my old friend
When the good lord, when the good lord calls me home
