D A Bm G

[Verse]
D
Tour was up, middle of June
        A
She was plannin' a welcome home barbeque
Bm                              G
Green bean casserole, grandma's recipe
            D
There was a knock on the door 'round 2 o'clock
A
Two uniforms and her heart stopped
       Bm                                G
Yellow ribbon 'round an oak tree blowin' in the breeze

[Chorus]
              D
Here's to the ones that didn't make it back home
    A
The ones we ain't seen in so long
    Bm
The hold up a beer ones, the wish they were here ones
    G
The not forgotten but gone
             D
They're in a better place up there
         A
But they sure left a hole down here
        Bm
We just go on living and go on missing
    G                                       D
The ones, the ones that didn't make it back home

[Verse]
          D
The whole town shut down, the whole town showed up
       A                                  Bm
Sang Amazing Grace, watched a slideshow of his 22 years
          G
There was laughs and there was tears
         D
And that preacher talked about sacrifice
    A
And traffic stopped for them Cadillac lights
Bm
Johnny sold beer half price that night
    G
And everybody raised them high singin'

[Chorus]
              D
Here's to the ones that didn't make it back home
    A
The ones we ain't seen in so long
    Bm
The hold up a beer ones, the wish they were here ones
    G
The not forgotten but gone
             D
They're in a better place up there
         A
But they sure left a hole down here
        Bm
We just go on living and go on missing
    G                                       Bm
The ones, the ones that didn't make it back home

[Bridge]
                   G
Back to that front porch
                        D
Back through that front door
                               A
To the life they were fightin' for

[Chorus]
              D
Here's to the ones that didn't make it back home
    A
The ones we ain't seen in so long
    Bm
The hold up a beer ones, the wish they were here ones
    G
The not forgotten but gone
             D
They're in a better place up there
         A
But they sure left a hole down here
        Bm
We just go on living and go on missing
    G                                       D      A Bm G
The ones, the ones that didn't make it back home
The ones that didn't make it back home
