Note To The Unknown Soldier

Capo 3 Intro: // (twice)   I don’t know you   I never met you   For laughs I’ll call you Sam   You were the son   Of Mrs. Someone   I hope she understands   Sam you were all that you had   Are you happy or sad   I never knew you   But I’m told you’re the best we had                   Were you so tall   Did you play Basketball   Was there a sweetheart at home   Did you write her letters   Did it make you better face the great unknown   Sam did you feel alone   You were so far from home   I never knew you   But I know you’re the best man I know   Could you tell it was time   See it coming in the back of your mind   When it was over was it over   Sam I’m glad you’re on my side                                          I don’t know you   I never met you   Can I call you Sam   Did you have a son   A daughter with a little one   I might go and thank Sam you’re the best that we have   You make me happy and sad   If you were here I’d buy the beers   I’d shake your hand and say good man   And though the sun would shine about the same   It’s a better world because you came   Sincerely yours my kids will know your name
