GCD progression
D C
I was 15 when my Daddy died
G D
turned a boy into a man
D C
I got mad and my Momma cried
G D
I hit the street when it hit the fan
___________________________________
turned 19 when my Brother was killed
they took the man I called my friend
left the family he tried to build
lord I never will understand
_____________________________
Chorous:
D C
it's so hard when your heros die
D C
to know what you're sposed to do
D C
should you hang your head and cry
D D7 G
or just do the best you can do.............Hell you might be a hero too
______________________________________
I was grown when my Mamma died
wished I'd been a better Son
she loved me with eyes so full of pride
I think of all the things I could have done
___________________________________________
now I got you and a life of our own
we take the good and leave the bad
my love for you has only grown
your the best friend I ever had
Chorous:
