MONTGOMERY GENTRY - Didn't I (2) guitar chord

This is my take on a great tune honoring my fellow combat vets ...

I will try to add the solo work sometime,

but I usually do those from memory with my own twists on them =)

Didn’t I

verse 1

F G C

Didn't I make you proud, go and lay my life down, when you called my name.

F G C

I thought I stood for something, was doin' the right thing when I went away.

F

Now being back should be so simple,

C G

but I keep getting these mixed signals from everyone.

F

Why do folks sit and judge me,

C G

who ain't seen what I seen or did what I done.

Chorus

C F C

Didn't I burn, didn't I bleed, enough for you.

C F C

I faced, your fears, felt pain so you won't have to.

G F Eb

Yeah didn't I do my best; and wasn't home here when I left.

Verse

F G C

I've seen boys fall to pieces, grown men cry out for Jesus, till their black and blue.

F

I thought God was on our side,

G

weren't we supposed to be the good guys

C

that would never lose.

F

Cause I don't see no ticker tape

C G

or five mile parade saying, thank you son.

F

Just folks that sit and judge me,

C G

who ain't seen what I seen or did what I done.

Chorus

C F C

Didn't I burn, didn't I bleed, enough for you.

C F C

I faced, your fears, felt pain so you won't have to.

G F Eb

Yeah didn't I do my best; and wasn't home here when I left.
