Raise Your Bottle Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][C][F]
There's a [C]memory that rings

[Verse 1]
[C]
clear as a bell
I was [Am]bouncin' like a bull rider on his knee
I sure [F]miss those old stories
that he'd tell
From a [G]hobo on a freight train
To a sailor out at sea
My [C]granny says that I've got his smile
He's the [Am]reason I take
pride in my last name
No he [F]never made the headlines
Nobody sings his song
So for [G]every unsung hero
I'm singing this today

[Verse 2]
So raise your [Am]bottle to the boys
and let's re[C]member
All [Am]the fallen and the price they had to [C]pay
Hold 'em up [Dm]high and salute all
[C]the ones that made it back
And for [G]the ones away from home,
don't forget to pray
[F]

[Verse 3]
Grand[C]pa could sing you
every Hank Williams song
But it's [Am]amazing grace that
brought him back around
He'd [F]shead a tear talkin' about the day
That [G]German gunner shot
his best friend down

[Verse 4]
My [C]daddy fought a war
some say in vain
[Am]He came home in a wheel chair,
now he walks with a kane
Seems like [F]every generation
has to pay the cost
[G]I think about my family and the
good friends that we've lost

[Verse 5]
So raise your [Am]bottle to the boys
and let's remem[C]ber
All [Am]the fallen and the price they had to [C]pay
Hold 'em up [Dm]high and salute all
[C]the ones that made it back
And for [G]the ones away from home,
don't forget [Am]to pr[F]ay

[Verse 6]
From Nor[Dm]mandy to Korea,
[C]to Kason Viet[F]nam
[C]Hea[F]rtaches and heads don't stretch
from coast [C]to coast
From Bunker Hill [Dm]to Fallujah,
Gettys[C]burg to Japan
[Em]Every[F]one who's ever served or lost
someone let's make a toast
[G][F]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
[Dm]So raise your bott[Am]le to the boys
and let's remem[C]ber
All [Am]the fallen and the price they had [C]to pay
Hold 'em up [Dm]high and salute all
[C]the ones that made it back
And for [G]the ones away from home,
don't forget to [F]pray
