(Capo on 2)

(Intro.) (Spoken)
(G) "The machines guns going and the dropping the bombs
And that's (G)just the way things were
And (G)would I do it again?
Well, (G)damn right I would"

(Verse)
(G)Hundred and first, first to fight
On the (D)sixth of June to save the world that night
Nineteen (G) forty-four, never fought before
(D)Teenage kids all geared up ready to win that war
We (Bm)sat outside his hand built home and he (G)told me about his life
A (A)100 years old remembering every moment of that fight

(Chorus)
In the (G)morning the (D)storms rolled (G)in
It was com-(G)pletely silent
Jumpin' into (D)open (G)fire
(G) Explosion, one con-(D)tinuous (G)flame
A (C)hell of a sight to (G)see
(D)Norman-(G)dy, (D)Normandy (G) / / / |(G) / /

(Verse)
He said that's an-(G)other thing, they don't (G)understand
We had to (D)win the war or risk losing this free land
We (Bm)sat outside his hand built home
And he (G)turned on the porch light
I (A)asked him if he'd do it again?
And he (A)said "you're damn right"

(Chorus)
In the (G)morning the (D)storms rolled (G)in
It was com-(G)pletely silent, jumping into (D)open (G)fire
(G) Explosion, one con-(D)tinuous (G)flame
A (C)hell of a sight to (G)see, (D)Norman-(G)dy
(D)Normandy (G)

(Break)
Yeah, the (Bm)odds were stacked against ‘em and (G)nothing added up
But (D)somehow by the grace of God (A) it was enough
They (Bm)held on 'cause they had to
But some (G)had to give it all (D) / / / |(A) / / / |(A) - - -

(Chorus)
In (G)Norman-(D/F#)dy, (A)Norman(Bm)dy
(G)Never forget the (D)heroes (A)who kept us free

(Outro.)
In (G)Norman-(D)dy, (A)Norman-(Bm)dy
And (G)sacrificed it all (D)that day in (A) - - -
Normandy (G)
"Heroes (D/F#)are as valuable to this country to-(A)day
As we were in World War 2, (D) and don't you ever forget it."
