Me And Crippled Soldiers – Merle Haggard
Album: Blue Jungle
Chorded by Gary W, 18 Feb 2007
Note: I put in some / marks to give you a basic sense of timing if you
are playing along with the recording. Each / simply means a strum.
Intro:
[E]//// //// //// //// [A]//// //// [E]//// //// //// // [B7]// [E]//// ////
Now that it’s all right
To burn the stars and stripes
Guess no-[A]-body really needs old Uncle [E] Sam
Might as well [B7] burn the Bill Of Rights, as well
And let our country go straight to hell
Only [E] me and crippled [B7] soldiers give a [E] damn
Should they [A] throw away their Purple Hearts
And hide their uniforms
And be [E] proud to hear Old Glory’s on the ground
Somebody said they’d take us without firing a shot
[A] I don’t know if they will or [E] not
But only me and crippled [B7] soldiers give a [E] damn //// ////
Instrumental:
[A]//// //// //// //// [E]//// //// //// //// [E]/ [A]/ [E]/
[E]//// [B7]//// [E]//// ////
Has the Holocaust been so long
Is Hitler really gone
As we [A] burn our only cause, for Viet-[E]-nam
There’s the [B7] mom who lost a son
Is this the freedom that we won
For only [E] me and crippled [B7] soldiers give a [E] damn
I’ve been [A] known to wave the flag before
And saddened when we went to war
[E] Fighting for the symbol of our land
For all the wars we fought and won
To [A] keep Old Glory [E] waving
Today, they ruled to [B7] burn Old Glory [E] down
And only me and crippled [B7] soldiers give a [E] damn / [E]/ [E]/
