The Last Fallen Hero

by Charlie Daniels

Intro: Em

G G/F# Em G G/F# Em

Oh the cowards came by morning and attacked without a warning

Am

Leaving flames and death and chaos in our streets

C B7 Em

In the middle of this fiery hell brave heroes fell

G G/F# Em G G/F# Em

In the skies of Pennsylvania on a plane bound for destruction

Am

With the devil and his angels at the wheel

C B7

They never reached their target on the ground

Em

Brave heroes brought it down

Chorus:

G C

This is a righteous cause so without doubt or pause

D G

I will do what my country asks of me

G C

Make any sacrifice, weâll pay whatever price

D G

So the children of tomorrow can be free

Em

Lead on red, white and blue

Bm C Cm

And we will follow you until we win the final victory

G C

God help us do our best we will not slack nor rest

D Em

Till the last fallen hero rests in peace

G G/F# Em G G/F# Em

Now the winds of war are blowing and thereâs no way of knowing

Am

Where this bloody path weâre traveling will lead

C B7 Em

We must follow till the end, or face it all again

G G/F# Em G G/F# Em

And make no mistake about it, write it, sing it, preach it, shout it

Am

Across the mountains and the deserts and the seas

C B7 Em

The blood of innocence and shame, will not be shed in vain

Chorus:

G C

God help us do our best we will not slack nor rest

D Em

Till the last fallen hero rests in peace
