D              Bm     G              D      Bm G
Trouble is her only friend and he's back again.
 D             Bm   G         D      Bm G
Makes her body older than it really is.
D                           Bm
She says it's high time she went away,
              G          D           Bm G
No one's got much to say in this town.
D              Bm    G      D
Trouble is the only way is down.
       A
Down, down.

Chorus:
                  D               Bm
As strong as you were, tender you go.
                   F#m                   G
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
                 D                     Bm
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
                F#m                      G
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
                D
I'll carry you home.

If she had wings she would fly away
And another day God will give her some
Trouble is the only way is down
Down, down

Chorus

              G
And they were all born pretty
    D               A
in New York City tonight,
        G
And someone's little girl was
 D                      A
taken from the world tonight,
            G   D      A
Under the Stars and Stripes.

Chorus - x2
