Verse 1
C 
Cyrus was a nice enough man
G 
Retired Army, he fought in Vietnam
And the stories he told
when we were alone
C 
They got bigger each time we got stoned
And the medals that hung on his wall
G 
I be lieve that he purchased them all
His prized photograph framed by his bed
C 
Was of him shaking hands
with Senator Ted
F 
C 
And at night we'd sit in his yard
G 
Am 
and shoot his AK -47 at the stars
D 
And he would say, man,
I believe there's a God,
G 
C 
and I'd sing hallelujah
People in town, they all knew
G 
That Cyrus had a couple loose screws
Down Main Street,
his Ford he would speed
C 
And jump out in full battle fatigues
While most folk, they didn't care
G 
But senior citizens, he'd easily scare
At the top of his lungs he would scream
C 
I spit on your American dream
F 
C 
And at night we'd sit in his yard
G 
Am 
And shoot his AK -47 at the stars
D 
And he would say,
G 
man, I believe there's a God,
C 
and I'd sing hallelujah.
Dm 
G 
Now, American soldier is born,
Am 
but he can't  tell what's
right from wrong.
D 
Dm 
D 
G 
Well, I believe that old Cyrus is gone.
C 
Hallelujah.
His neighbors,
F 
C 
they thought he was strange.
G 
He'd sit outside and sing
home on the range
with his whiskey and rifle by his side.
C 
he would wave at the cars driving by.
Cyrus was a nice enough man,
G 
rescued a  whole platoon in Vietnam,
and the things he had seen
and he had done,
C 
he was proud of the man he'd become.
F 
C 
And at night we'd sit in his yard
G 
Am 
D 
and shoot his AK -47 at the stars.
Dm 
And he would say, man,
D 
I believe there's a God.
G 
Am 
D 
And I'd sing hallelujah, hallelujah.
He would say, man, I believe there's a God,
G 
and I'd say hallelujah.
