[verse (1)]
G D
He grew up in a time--
C Bm
When a third grade education
C G
Was all the school you needed
Am D
To work the family farm--
G D
He'd take time off on sunday
C Bm
Him and all his family
Am
Warm a pew
D C G
And give thanks to the lord--
[verse (2)]
C Bm
There was no gray--
Am G
Only black and white--
C G
Didn't need no one to tell- him
D
What was wrong or right
G C
'cause he had god--
G D G G D
Fa-mily---and country ---
[verse (3)]
G D
He set aside his plow--
C Bm
In early 1940
C G
Said goodbye to his small town
Am D
And put on the army green--
G D
Hard times on the front lines
C Bm
Writin' letters on wet paper
Am D
Not one word about the awful
C G
Things he'd seen--
[verse (4)]
C Bm
His was a generation
Am G
That answered without question
C Bm
They knew they had to win--
G D
'cause they were fightin' for
G C G D G
God --- fa-mily-and country
Am Em Bm G C C ( G D )
ohhh
[verse (5)]
G D
On the coffee table
C G
Sits the family bible
C G
Where just last year he added
Am D
A little boy to the family tree--
G D
There's the folded flag they gave us
C G
On the day he left us
C G
But the thing that i remember most
Am D
Is the way that he--
G
Believed
[verse (6)]
C G D C G
In god, family-and country--
Bm G C
oh, we've got god
G D G
Family-- and country--
