[Verse]
Em                    C     G
Hey old friend, it's been awhile
        Em                   
I hope everything's well and 
        C       G
you're doin' alright
     Em                
The things that I see, 
        C      G
keep me up at night
      Em               
Most days I don't know 
         C        G
if I'll get out alive
 
 
[Chorus]
Am         C     Em
War keeps raging on
           Am            C
Yeah, I'm holding on to hope
         Em             G
But the hope is almost gone
 
      Am       C     Em
When life's a loaded gun
                Am                    G
You wouldn't believe the things I've done
          C             D       
But I'll tell you all about it, 
          Em
when I'm home
 
   C      G
Ho-oh-oh-ome
Em    C      G
   Ho-oh-oh-ome
 
 
[Verse]
Em                    C      G
Hey old friend, It's been a while
    Em                    C          G
Without you here, things don't seem right
 Em                   C      G
Your ribbon's fadin' out to white
                      Em
Drinking next to the barstool
           C      G
That you, left behind
 
 
[Break]
  Cmaj7               G
I hope you come back soon
          Cmaj7         
Tonight, I bow my head, 
                      D
and say a prayer for you
 
 
[Chorus]
Am         C     Em
War keeps raging on
      Am            C
Keep holding on to hope
         Em                   G
Even if hope feels like it's gone
 
      Am       C     Em
When life's a loaded gun
       Am             G
Every day's a battle won
            C             D       
And you'll tell you all about it, 
             Em
when you're home
 
   C      G
Ho-oh-oh-ome
Em    C      G
   Ho-oh-oh-ome
 
 
[Verse]
Em                    C      G
Hey old friend, it's been a while
       Em                   C       G
In my best suit, I came to say goodbye
      Em                   C      G
Billy man, gunned down at twenty one
                  Em   
They folded your flag, 
               C            G
and gave your text to your mom
 
 
[Verse]
Am         C     Em
War keeps raging on
         Am                C
Raise a glass to soldiers fightin'
         Em                G
Raise a glass to soldiers gone
 
        Am       C     Em
'Cause life's a loaded gun
             Am         Bm
But I'll see you again, my old friend
 
          C
When the good Lord
          D                  G
When the good Lord calls me home
