intro: A G C

Verse:
A
Said goodbye to his momma as he left south dakota
G C
to fight fot the red white and blue

A
He was nineteen in green with a new M-16
G C
Just doing what he had to do

A
He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble
G C
With the smell of napalm in the air

A
And the seargent said
G C
Look up ahead

A
Like a dark evil cloud twelve hundred came down
G C
On him and twenty-nine more

A
They fought for their lives but most of them died
G C
In the 173rd airborne

Chorus:
A
On the 8th of November the angels were crying
G C
As they carried his brothers away

A
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
G C
There were few men left standing that day

A
Saw an eagle fly through a clear blue sky
G C
Nineteen-sixty-five
A G C
the 8th of November

A
Now he's fifty-eight and his pony tail's gray
G C
But the battle still plays in his head

A
He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
G C
About the shrapnell they left in his leg

A
He puts on a suit over his airborne tatoo
G C
He ties it on one time a year

A
He remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one
G C
And swallows it down with his tears

Chorus:
A
On the 8th of November the angels were crying
G C
As they carried his brothers away

A
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
G C
There were few men left standing that day

A
Saw an eagle fly through a clear blue sky
G C
Nineteen-sixty-five
A G C
the 8th of November

A
Saw an eagle fly through a clear blue sky
G C
Nineteen-sixty-five

A
On the eighth of november the angels were crying
G C
As they carried his brothers away

A
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
G C
There were few men left standing that day
