Lyrics
Tablets Of Stone (Iraq, Veitnam)
Copyright 2003 Jim & Don Campbell
Am G Am
The poets sang, long hair in braids,
Am C G Am
The girls all cried, as we went away
,Am G Am
Fatigues of green, helmit and gun,
Am C G Am
Never even heard of Veitnam
,Am G Am
A jungle, a swamp,an unknown trail,
Am C G Am
we rode a cargo plane to hell
Am G Am
we Didnt know just who to kill,
Am C G Am
They wouldnt say, ya couldnt tell,
Am G Am
crawl and hide, aim and shoot,
Am C G Am
At Tojo, Charlie, nameless recruits
Am G Am
Drag our buddies back in bags,
Am C G Am
no epitath written, only toe tags
!!!Chorous !!!!
---CHOROUS---
Am G Am
the names on the wall of marble tell,
Am F G Am
who bore the scars, who braved the hell,
Am G Am
they cant say, but we should have known'
Am F G Am
if the army was gods, Then he'd saved His own
Am G Am C G Am
Forget, I cant, I never will,cant remember how to feel,
Am G Am C G Am
cant cry, wont run, excuse my stare cant understand if you werent there
Am G Am C G Am
.. a hero, not me, i was sent,didnt know better, i just went,
Am G Am C G Am
No lesson learned, to quickly back,From Afgahnistan, now to Irag
Am G Am C G Am
The sons & daughters of the land of the brave,my life or the peoples, which should i save,
Am G Am C G Am
to give, without taking, speak on & onfrom the words, and the names, on the tablets of stone
---CHOROUS---
Am G Am
the names on the tablets of stone they tell,
Am F G Am
who bore the scars, who braved the hell,
Am G Am
they cant say, but we should have known
Am F G Am
from the words, and the names, on the tablets of stone
