About the shrapnell they left in his leg

* You don't need to play this D, but Big Kenny plays it live. I think it sounds good,
it makes it so you are not holding A out so long. Its a good song, don't be afraid to let
ring for a little, i.e. only strum F once until the G on "saw the eagle fly", it sounds best. ENJOY!
