Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]People staring
[G]at me as they [D]wheel me
Down [G]the ramp toward my [D]plane[G][D][G]
The [D]war is over for [G]me
I've for[D]gotten everything [G]except
[D]the pain[G][D][G]
Thank you sir, [C]and yes sir, it [G]was worth it
For [C]the ol' red,
white and [D]blue[G][D][G]
[A]And since I won't be walking
I sup[G]pose I'll save some money
buy[D]ing shoes
[G]

[Verse 2]
[D][G]
The [D]bottle hidden un
[G]derneath [D]the blanket
Over my [G]two battered [D]legs[G][D][G]
I can [D]see the stewardess [G]make over me
[D]And askin' me,
[G]"were you [D]afraid?"[G][D][G]
I'll say, "why no? I'm Su[C]perman,
[G]And couldn't find [C]the phone
booth quite in [D]time"[G][D][G]
[A]A GI gets a lot of laughs
and [G]he remembers all the
[D]funny lines
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
[Chorus]
Mama bake a [G]pie
Daddy kill a chick[D]en[G]
[D]Your son is coming [G]home[D]
[G]11:35, Wednesday nig[D]ht[G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Mama will be crying and
daddy's gonna say
[G]"Son, did they treat
[D]you good?"[G][D][G]
My [D]uncle will be drunk [G]and he'll say
[D]"Boy, they doing some real [G]great
things with [D]wood"[G][D][G]
The letter that she wro[C]te me said,
"good[G]bye"
She couldn't [C]wait and lots of [D]luck[G]
[D]The [G]bot[A]tle underneath the blanket
[G]Feels just like an old friend to my [D]touch[G][D]

[Verse 5]
I know [D]she'll come [G]and see me
But I bet [D]she never [G]once looks at my [D]legs
[G]Now, [D]she[G]'ll just talk[D]
about [G]the weather
And the dress [D]she wore the Ju
[G]ly 4th [D]parade[G][D][G]
Lord, I love her so [C]much and [G]I don't think
I [C]can drink her off my [D]mind[G][D][G]
I [A]see here in the paper
Where [G]they say the war is just

[Interlude 1]
a waste of time
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[Chorus] [D]Your son
is coming [G]home[D]
[G][D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 7]
[D]Your son is coming home
11:35, Wednesday night
