Verse 1:
           D               Bm               G      
He used to play in daddy's uniform with the stripes across the sleeve
       D                Bm           G                    A
And he knew when he was all grown up what he was gonna to be
G                  D/F#            Em              D/F#
He used to like to ambush every careless cat or dog 
G                     D         Em                  A
That had the nerve to cross the battle lines he had drawn
Chorus:
G               D/F#           G                         D/F#

G                      D/F#         Em      A
He was proud to be the other little soldier

The phone rang in the middle of the night when they called his dad to go
D                  Bm                   G              A 
Kissed him and his mom goodbye and said God I love you both
G                  D/F#          Em            D/F# 
I know that it's a lot to ask of such a little man
G                     D/F#            Em           A     
But hold the fort and I'll be home as quickly as I can

Bridge:
G             D/F#          Em                   D/F#       
A wall cannot begin to hold the names of all the kids
G                  D/F#           Em              D  A   
Who gave the great sacrifice that any child could give
Verse 3:
           D                              G 
It was the first time he had ever seen  a flag from up that close
       D                    Bm        G                 A
And he watched them as they folded it so careful and so slow
G                      D/F#           Em             D/F# 
As they gave it to his mother he knew what he should do
G                    D                 Em           A 
He raised his little hand and gave his dad one last salute
