CHORUS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
E			B
We live on; in memories of years gone bye. 
A
So don't call us gone.
F	  	       B		      E
That's what we'd say, if these walls could talk.

(2nd Verse:)
E						B
Keep the yard mowed; Get the kitchen sink fixed.
C		A
And when she meets somebody new,
A 		E
Tell her it’s okay to steal a kiss.
E				B
I hope she laughs at the pictures,
B			C
From all our happy times.
                                    C		A
And I hope she still see me,
Looking into our grandkid’s eyes.
E
I hope y’all try to:

CHORUS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
E		B
Live your life; Live it strong. 
B		C
Keep your feet on solid ground.
C			A
Don't get mad about the War.  
A		E
We made it home.
That's what we'd say; if these were Talking Walls.

(Verse three):
E                      B
Remember Us; when the draft notice arrived, 
We did not hide. We did not run.
C                    A
We reported; signed our names; and headed for the bus.
E                      B
Boots laced-up tight; duffel bags on our shoulders, we were deployed. 
C                        A
We went, where they sent us, and left the rest to dust.
E
That’s what we’d say; if these walls could talk.

Chorus:
(Slow, gentle strumming)
E              B
We gave our all; so others could live. 
C               A
Know that our sacrifice;  saw us through hardtimes.
E                 B
Our names etched here, a silent, solemn grace.
C               A
We found our peace, on this eternal Wall.
E
So live your lives, let your spirits soar.
B
We're not gone, just waiting on another shore.
C              A
When you feel the wind; hear a distant drum,
E
Know we're with you, 'til your own day comes.
(Fade out with a final, lingering chord)
