Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (D major) June 6, (G major) 1944.
(D major) A day that changed the world.
(G major) Well, (C major) we're on our (G major) way,
(D major) boys quickly (E minor) becoming men, (C major)
(D major) total (C major) strangers now (E minor) as close
as broth (D major) ers, (G major)
hoping and (C major) praying
that all (G major) will come back
and yet (D major) knowing in our hearts
(G major) that some must stay.
Each in silent (D major) prayer saying,
(C major) Lord if it must be me,
remove (D major) my fears
and make me a man
this longest day (C major) of the year.
(G major) This is the day they (C major) trained us for,
every (G major) boy and (D major) man,
from Billy Smith of Oregon
to (G major) Sergeant Callahan.
As I crouch and watch my buddies,
can scarcely (D major) get (C major) my breath,
and I (D major) wonder which one,
yes, which one
has a rendezvous with death. (G major)
In (C major) the heart of every man's
a prayer
(D major) that this won't be the end,
(E minor) that they'll (C major) live to hold a sweetheart,
a wife, (D major) a child again.
(G major) North, south, east, west,
each race, creed, color.
All these men stand side by side
cause now they need each other.
(D major) In a minute or two
that ramp will fall
(C major) on an unknown (D major) beach ahead.
And (G major) wa ters that once were a murky blue
will turn to a crimson red.
(C major) Those here remember (G major) Dunkirk,
and (D major) like then, (C major) it's away all boats,
(G major) an d we're striking a (D major) blow for freedom
with (G major) everything that floats.
There's tough (E minor) old Sergeant Callahan.
(C major) (D major) He's not the same today.
(G major) I can hardly be (C major) lieve my ears. (G major)
(D major) What's that (E minor) I hear him say?
(C major) Our Father, (C sharp major) who (D major) art in heaven,
(G major) hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done (C major) on the earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our (A major) daily bread
and forgive us our tres (C major) passes
as we forgive those (G major) who trespass against (D major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) Amen. (C major)
(G major)
