I Remember

[Em]I remember a story of great battles won   [D]
and the [F#]tal[D]e of our heroes who died by the gun      [Em]
while the [C]rest looked and smiled at the freedom they'v[Am]e won
but the weight o[B]f the chain slows the run           [Em]

I remember a song about flags standing high
as the red blazing rockets turned dark a blue sky
I remember the reason the weak shared good-byes if they could

I remember a sight at the dreams that we had
and the injustice they've suffered had driven them mad
I remember when we had the right to be sad all the time

I remember the war of the great days of old
and the battle hymns they sung while they died in the cold
I remember the good men they bought and they sold for a dime

let's tak[C]e a look n[D]ow what we've c[Em]hanged
after al[C]l we're still s[B]o much the [Am]same
after al[C]l this time
can't we make up[Am] our minds
must we all play t[B]he losing game       [G]         [F#]            [Em]

let's take a look now what we've changed
after all we're still so much the same
after all this time
can't we make up our minds
guess we'll all play the losing game
