A Uniform And A Gun Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - John And Sheila Ludgate

Intro - [C] / [F] / [C] / [G]

[C]Don’t know what you saw over there[F] , another time someplace somewhere,
just a [C]kid with a uniform and a [G]gun
[C]Sign up for something to do, [F]steady pay across an ocean of blue
some[C]where in the [G]land of the midnight [C]sun

A [C]medal for bravery, and a few medals more, dis[F]patches from that far east war,
[C]discharge papers all kept in a [G]drawer
A [C]question from a curious kid, [F]what was it like, what you did
there’s [C]a far-away look for a[G]n answer, nothin[C]g more

[CHORUS]

[F]Memori[C]es, of [F]long gone heroes who still l[C]ive in your d[G]reams
[F]Memori[C]es, of the [F]good and the bad and all the [C]gray in-[G]between
[Am]Memori[G]es, ca[Am]n’t forget what[F] should have neve[G]r been
[F]Memori[C]es, lest we for[G]get?[F] ?? [C]

Instrumental - [Am] / [G] / [Am] / [F] / [G] - [F] / [C] / [G] / [F] / [C]

[C]Nothing said, nothing more, than a [F]black & white photo worn and torn,
[C]he was so young, could’ve been a[G]nyone
[C]Someone’s brother, someone’s son[F] , a memory now, forever young,
just a k[C]id with a u[G]niform and a [C]gun

Repeat Chorus

[C]So you carry that flag in that fall parade, for [F]all the ones not here today,
for [C]what you saw and for what was [G]done
[C]Good and evil, black and white, you [F]did your best, what you thought was right
just a [C]kid with a [G]uniform and a [C]gun
