A day that changed the world Chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Jun[G]e 6[D], 1[C]944[G].[D][G]
[D]A day that changed the world.
[G]Wel[C]l, we're on our way[G],
[D]boys quickly [Em]becom[C]ing men,
[D]total [C]strangers now [Em]as close
as broth[D]ers,[G]
hoping and [C]praying
that all [G]will come back
and yet [D]knowing in our hearts
[G]that some must stay.
Each in silent [D]prayer saying,
[C]Lord if it must be me,
remove [D]my fears
and make me a man
this longest day [C]of the year.
[G]This is the day they tra[C]ined us for,
every [G]boy and [D]man,
from Billy Smith of Oregon
to [G]Sergeant Callahan.
As I crouch and watch my buddies,
[D]can scarcely get [C]my breath,
and I [D]wonder which one,
yes, which one
has a rendezvous [G]with death.
In [C]the heart of every man's
a prayer
[D]that this won't be the end,
[Em]that they'll [C]live to hold a sweetheart,
a wife, [D]a child again.
[G]North, south, east, west,
each race, creed, color.
All these men stand side by side
cause now they need each other.
[D]In a minute or two
that ramp will fall
[C]on an unknown [D]beach ahead.
And [G]wa ters that once were a murky blue
will turn to a crimson red.
[C]Those here remember [G]Dunkirk,
and [D]like then, [C]it's away all boats,
[G]an d we're striking a [D]blow for freedom
with [G]everything that floats.
There's tough [Em]old Sergeant Callahan.
[C]He'[D]s not the same today.
[G]I can hardly belie[C]ve my ear[G]s.
[D]What's that [Em]I hear him say?
[C]Our Father, who[C#] art [D]in heaven,
[G]hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done [C]on the earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our [A]daily bread
and forgive us our tres[C]passes
as we forgive those [G]who [D]trespass against
[G]Ame[C]n.[G][D][C]
[G]
