[ verse ]
D
tour was up , middle of june
A
she was plannin’ a welcome home barbeque
Bm G
green bean casserole , grandma’s recipe
D
there was a knock on the door ’round 2 o’clock
A
two uniforms and her heart stopped
Bm G
yellow ribbon ’round an oak tree blowin’ in the breeze
[ chorus ]
D
here’s to the ones that didn’t make it back home
A
the ones we ain’t seen in so long
Bm
the hold up a beer ones , the wish they were here ones
G
the not forgotten but gone
A D
they’re in a better place up there
A
but they sure left a hole down here
Bm
we just go on living and go on missing
G D
the ones , the ones that didn’t make it back home
[ verse ]
D
the whole town shut down , the whole town showed up
A Bm
sang amazing grace , watched a slideshow of his 22 years
G
there was laughs and there was tears
D
and that preacher talked about sacrifice
A
and traffic stopped for them cadillac lights
Bm
johnny sold beer half price that night
G
and everybody raised them high singin’
[ chorus ]
