This is my first tab ever so i hope i did ok. i had some trouble with the bridge but i it's ok. let me know what you think. intro: Verse: Said goodbye to his mamma as he left South Dakota to fight fot the red, white, and blue. He was nineteen in green with a new M-16 Just doing what he had to do. He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble With the smell of napalm in the air. And the seargent said Look up ahead. Like a dark evil cloud twelve hundred came down On him and 26 more. They fought for their lives but most of them died In the 173rd airborne. Chorus: On the 8th of November the angels were crying As they carried his brothers away. With the fire raining down and the hell all around There were few men left standing that day. Bridge: Saw an eagle fly through a clear blue sky GD 1965 the 8th of November. Now he's 58 and his pony tail's gray But the battle still plays in his head. He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks About the shrapnell they left in his leg. He puts on a suit over his airborne tatoo He ties it on one time a year. He remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one And swallows it down with his tears. Chorus: On the 8th of November the angels were crying As they carried his brothers away. With the fire raining down and the hell all around There were few men left standing that day.
