Capo 1st Fret (to match recording) 

Intro: (D) (A) (Bm) (G)

(D) Tour was up, middle of June
She was (A) planning a welcome home barbecue
(Bm) Green bean casserole, Grandma's (G) recipe
There was a (D) knock on the door 'round two o'clock
(A) Two uniforms and her heart stopped
Yellow (Bm) ribbon 'round an oak tree
Blowing (G) in the breeze

  Here's to the (D) ones that didn't make it back home
  The (A) ones we ain't seen in so long
  The (Bm) hold up a beer ones, the wish they were here ones
  The (G) not forgotten but gone
  They're in a (D) better place up there
  But they (A) sure left a hole down here
  We just (Bm) go on living and go on missing the ones
  The (G) ones that didn't make it back home

The whole town shut down, the whole town showed up
Sang Amazing Grace, watched a slideshow of
His 22 years
There was laughs and there was tears
And that preacher talked about sacrifice
And traffic stopped for them Cadillac lights
Johnny sold beer half price that night
And everybody raised 'em high, singing

Repeat Chorus

(G) Back to that front porch
Back through that front (D) door
To the life they were fighting (A) for

Repeat Chorus
