G                                                 D7
On a cold day in D.C. at the wall she touched his name

                                                 G
In silence kissed his picture it'll never be the same

                                                G7         C
As I watched her walk away from those that went beyond the call

D7                                                          G
Thoughts go to those left behind and their lives beyond the wall


           C                                                    G
Beyond the wall  there's a story for every name written on that wall

        C                            G                      D7
Special things are left there yet by those that won't for-g-et

G                          D7            G
For every name memories go on beyond the wall


                                                    D7
I saw a ragged teddy bear was it someone's favorite toy

                                                G
From a son back to his daddy or a father to his boy

                             G7              C
And me I kept the promise to buy my friend a beer

D7                                         G
Here's to you old buddy I'll just leave it here


           C                                                    G
Beyond the wall  there's a story for every name written on that wall

        C                            G                      D7
Special things are left there yet by those that won't for-g-et

G                          D7            G
For every name memories go on beyond the wall
