Still A Soldier

G  D  Em  C


[Verse 1]
          G
He's got a corner lot on Dogwood Drive
Bm
A year-old truck and a nine to five
Em
Comes home at night to a pretty wife
      C
With a baby due
G
He'll sleep in on Saturday
Bm
Cut the grass if it don't rain
Em                                          C
After church he'll watch the game and have a beer or two
Em
He'll stand up when he hears the anthem
C
And that won't ever change


[Chorus]
            G
He's still a soldier
           D                    Em
His blood runs red, white, and blue
        C                 G
He put away his gun and boots
             D                      Em
But he still believes the American dream
              C                      G            D
'Til his last breath he'll always be a soldier
            G            C
He's still a soldier


[Verse 2]
G
He's on his couch for the news at ten
Bm
He'll see those places that he's been
Em                                                  C
And when a brother falls there's a part of him that does too
Em                     Bm
And if they called and needed him back
Em    G             C
Oh, he'd be on that plane


[Chorus]
           G
He's still a soldier
          D                    Em
His blood runs red, white, and blue
        C               G
He put away his gun and boots
              D                     Em
But he still believes the American dream
          C                          G           D
'Til his last breath he'll always be a soldier

Em  C


[Bridge]
C
He don't wake up anymore
G                      Bm   Em
When he hears thunder
        C                        D
Oh, but even if he lives to be a hundred
                 G          D
He'll still be a soldier


[Chorus]
             Em
He's still a soldier
       C        G
He put away his gun and boots
             D                    Em
But he still believes the American dream
              C                        G          D
'Til his last breath he'll always be a soldier
             G        C
He's still a soldier
             G        D  G    C
He's still a soldier
