Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 1]
[G]What can you see from your [Em]window?
[G]I can't see anything from m[Em]ine
[G]Flags on the side the [Em]highway
And [C]scripture on grocery store [G]signs[D]
[G]Maybe eighteen was too [Em]early
Maybe [G]thirty or forty [Em]is too
Did [G]you get your chance to make [Em]peace
with the man
Before he [C]sent down his angels for [G]you?[D]

[Chorus 1]
[Em]Mamas and [D]grandmamas [G]love you
'cause [Em]that's all they [D]know how to [G]do[D]
[Em]You never planned on the b[Bm]ombs in the sand
Or [C]sleeping in [Cm]your dress [G]blues[D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 2]
Your [G]wife said this all would be [Em]funny
When [G]you came back home in a [Em]week
You'd [G]turn twenty-two
and we'd [Em]celebrate you
In a [C]bar or a tent by the [G]creek[D]
Your [G]baby would just about [Em]be here
Your [G]very last tour would be [Em]up
But [G]you won't be back
They're all [Em]dressing in black
Drinking [C]sweet tea in [G]styrofoam [D]cups

[Chorus 2]
[Em]Mamas and [D]grandmamas [G]love you
A[Em]merican [D]boys hate to [G]lose[D]
[Em]You never planned on the b[Bm]ombs in the sand
Or [C]sleeping in [Cm]your dress [G]blues[D]

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 3]
The [G]high school gymnasium's [Em]ready
Full of [G]flowers and old legion[Em]naires
[G]Nobody showed up to [Em]protest
Just [C]sniffle and [G]stare[D]
There's [G]red, white, and blue in the [Em]rafters
And there's [G]silent old men from the [Em]corps
[G]What did they say
when they [Em]shipped you away
To fight [C]somebody's Hollywood [G]war?[D]

[Chorus 3]
[Em]Nobody [D]here could for[G]get you
You [Em]showed us what [D]we had to [G]lose[D]
[Em]You never planned on the b[Bm]ombs in the sand
Or [C]sleeping in [Cm]your dress [G]blues[D]

[Outro 1]
[Em]You never planned on the b[Bm]ombs in the sand
Or [C]sleeping in [Cm]your dress [G]blues
