It was [C]hard for him to get out of bed
When the [Gm]phone rang sleepy eyed she said
"Charlie's [F]drunk again
Why don't you just let it [C]ring?"

For the [Gm]guy who came back and saved his butt
What they [F]have in common is a brotherhood
So [G]few could understand

They were [C]forged by [F]fire
[Bb]Hard times you get beyond
[F]Give you an un[G]breakable bond
[C]Forged by [F]fire
When you[Bb] pray to God, [F]beat the odds
[Dm]And you walk through hell to[G]gether
You're forever [C]forged by [F]fire [Eb] [D] [C]

The young [C]GI said from his VA bed
"Why you [Gm]wanna hang out with us broken men
While [F]you could be spending your time
With your family and [C]friends."

I [Gm]see myself when I look at you
In a [F]place and time you don't forget
So [G]even though we've just met"

[CHORUS]
We're [C]forged by [F]fire

He said "[C]goodbye GI, see you next week"
He [Gm]rolls himself out to the street
Pretty [F]hard for him to get up in that van
And [C]throw the wheelchair in the back

For a [G]brother, it's no trouble"
