Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  knew a man called him Sam 'the Cane'
Few  folks even knew his name
But  a hero yes was he
He  left a boy, came back a man
Still  many just don't understand
About  the reasons we are free
I  can't forget the look  in his eyes
Or  the tears  he cried
As  he said these words to me
 All gave some, some  gave all
 Some stood through  for the red, white and blue  and some had to fall
And  if you ever think  of me
Think  of all  your liberties  and recall
Some  gave all
 Now Sam 'the Cane' is no longer here
 But his words are oh so clear
 As they echo throughout our land
 For all his friends who gave us all
 Who stood the ground and took the fall
 To help their fellow man
 Love your country, live with pride
 And don't forget those who died
 America can't you see?
 Thanks to Sean Compton who provided the lyrics, I only changed
 'Sam Duquane' in Sam 'the Cane' which sounds more like it, and even
 could make sense too...
 This song sounds much better played on piano, but good luck anyway
 Sean, sorry it took me so long
 enJoy
