A Veterans Hallelujah

     C                     Am
You packed your bags and shut the door,
     C                   Am
You crossed the sea to fight a war,
    F                G               C     G
You didn't know just what would happen to ya.
   C                   F           G
Stepped in the dirt boots on the ground,
    Am              F
And gunfire is the only sound,
    G                E           Am
And to yourself you whispered, Hallelujah.


[Chorus]
     F           Am          F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
     C G C     G
Hallelu - jah.


[Verse]
     C                Am
Every day and every night,
    C                    Am
you walked the walk, you fought the fight,
    F              G                C    G
You never saw the end in sight now did ya.
    C             F       G
The days awash in a haze of red,
    Am                         F
The blood, The mud, too many dead,
    G              E             Am
Your weary soul was crying Hallelujah.


[Chorus]
     F           Am          F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
     C G C     G
Hallelu - jah.


[Verse]
    C                  Am
Too late to help, you hear a shot,
       C            Am
You know you're in a deadly spot,
    F              G                 C    G
You never thought this day would come now did ya?
          C                 F     G
Your brother falls down to the ground,
   Am             F
The enemy is all around,
    G           E           Am
From your lips you scream a Hallelujah.


[Chorus]
     F           Am          F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
     C G C     G
Hallelu - jah.


[Verse]
  C                     Am
You fought the fight till it was done,
  C                  Am
You have the strength to carry on,
     F                 G              C      G
You thought it'd be much better back home did ya?
    C                   F        G
You try each day, keep pushing through,
     Am               F
But the battle lives inside of you,
     G             E               Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am          F           C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
