Memorial Day chords by James McMurtry


James McMurtry Chords


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
