Artist/Band: McMurtry James Tabs
Song: Memorial Day Tab
Capo 2nd fret
(G)Mama keeps tryin� to get the (C) game on the (G) radio
Daddy�s gotta (D/F#) know the (G) score
There�s a big yellow thing on a (C) flat bed (G) trailer
Wonder what that (D/F#) thing�s (G) for
(G)We got towels rolled up in the (C) back seat (G) window
Keeping us (D/F#) out of the (G) sun
Just a hundred more miles and (C) we�ll be at grand(G)ma�s
Sure (D/F#) is gonna be (G) fun
(G)Maybe she�ll take us fish(C)in�(G)
Maybe she�ll (D/F#) bake us a (G) pie
Remember like she did that (C) one (G) time
Back before (D/F#) grandpa (G) died
It�s (C) Memorial Day in (G) America
(D/F#)Everybody�s on the(G) road
Let�s (C) remember our fallen (G) heroes
(D/F#)Y�all be sure and drive (G) slow
(G)Ninety eight degrees in the (C) shade of the tool (G) shed
Can�t go (D/F#) back in the (G) house
They�re all in the kitchen (C) yellin� �bout some(G)thing
Don�t know what (D/F#) it�s (G) about
(G)Joey �n Mary said (C) not to (G) worry
Said it�s just the (D/F#) same old (G) fight
Happens whenever they (C)all get (G) together
Everything�s (D/F#) really (G) alright
It�s (C) Memorial Day in (G) America
(D/F#)This is how it�s supposed to (G) be
(C)Let�s remember our fallen(G) heroes
(D/F#)In the land of the (G) free
(G)Daddy�s in the big chair (C) sippin� on a cold (G) beer
Grandma�s (D/F#) cuttin� a (G) switch
She overheard Mary (C) cussin� her (G) brother
Called him a (D/F#) son of a (G) b***h
She got a good green limb off a (C) sweet gum (G) sapling
Man that�s (D/F#) bound to (G) sting
But Mary don�t cry just (C) stands there and takes (G) it
Doesn�t seem to (D/F#) feel a (G) thing
(G)No Mary don�t cry, you (C)know she�s a big (G) girl
Wonder what (D/F#) made her so (G) mad
She takes those licks looking (C) in through the den (G) door
Staring right (D/F#) straight at her (G) dad
Fiddle solo..
(G)There�s a big yellow thing on a (C) flat bed (G) trailer
Daddy nearly (D/F#) hit that (G) bird
They�re both in the front seat
Starin�(C) right straight (G) ahead
Neither one (D/F#) saying a (G) word
(G)The sun�s going down in the (C) rear view (G) mirror
Gonna be (D/F#) driving all (G) night
Wonder if the neighbor�s (C) fed the (G) canary
Wonder if the (D/F#)cat�s (G) alright
It�s (C) Memorial Day in (G) America
(D/F#)Everybody�s on the(G) road
Let�s (C) remember our fallen (G) heroes
(D/F#)Y�all be sure and drive (G) slow
It�s (C) Memorial Day in (G) America
(D/F#)This is how it�s supposed to (G) be
(C)Let�s remember our fallen(G) heroes
(D/F#)In the land of the (G) free
