Soldiers And Jesus

[D]Grand-daddy came home in a [G]B-5[D]2
In a pine box covered in [A]red, white and [G]blue
He was one of the brave and the [A]proud and the [Bm]few [A]   [D]

[D]Twenty-one guns helped [G]us say good[D]bye
I stood there in silence tryin' [A]hard not to [G]cry
As the preacher, he quoted, lines [A]written in [Bm]red[A]  [D]
And then he [D]folded his bible and in a [A]broken voice, he [D]said

There's [G]only two people who's [D]every died for me
[A]Laid down their lives just so [D]I could be free
They [G]both went through hell, beared [D]crosses and shells
And [A]both got back up again [D]after they fell

They [G]never picked the fight, but they're [D]there
To [A]pick up the [Bm]pieces

[G]God only knows who we'd [A]be without soldiers and [D]Jesus

It [D]seems like the news loves to [G]run 'em both [D]down
But whenever we need 'em, they're [A]always [G]around
So don't hand me a party's [A]political [Bm]views
'Cause they're a [D]left side, a right side, and [A]then there's the [D]truth

There[G]'s only two people who[D]'s every died for me
[A]Laid down their lives just so [D]I could be free
They [G]both went through hell, beared [D]crosses and shells
And [A]both got back up again [D]after they fell

They [G]never picked the fight, but they're [D]there
To [A]pick up the [Bm]pieces

To [G]me, they're both heroes for the [A]path that they [Bm]chose
'Cause one [D]fights for my life, one f[A]ights for my s[D]oul

There[G]'s only two people who[D]'s every died for me
[A]Laid down their lives just so [D]I could be free
They [G]both went through hell, beared [D]crosses and shells
And [A]both got back up again [D]after they fell

They [G]never picked the fight, but they're [D]there
To [A]pick up the [Bm]pieces

[G]God only knows where we'd [A]be without soldiers and J[D]esus
S[G]oldiers and [D]Jesus
