Intro: Verse Tell my father that his son Didn't run, or surrender That I bore his name with pride As I tried to remember You are judged by what you do While passing through As I rest 'neath fields of green Let him lean on my shoulder Tell him how I spent my youth So the truth could grow older Tell my father when you can I was a man Tell him we will meet again Where the angels learn to fly Tell him we will meet as men For with honor did I die Tell him how I wore the Blue Proud and true through the fire Tell my father so he'll know I love him so (repeat above twice, second time no words, if two guitars play melody on second) Verse Tell him how we wore the blue Proud and true like he taught me Tell my father not to cry Then say goodbye
