Verse 1
Private (D major) (G major) Wilson White,
America (D major) is proud tonight
Proud to (A major) blame you for their hero,
Private White (D major)
On a battlefield one day,
in a land (G major) so far away
Mid the (A major) rattle of machine guns,
in the dawn's first golden light (D major)
Twenty men lay close to death,
nineteen of (G major) them held their breath
While one vo (A major) lunteered to save them,
volunteered to (G major) (A major) give his life
Private (D major) (G major) Wilson White,
Amer (A major) ica (D major) is proud tonight
Proud (A major) to claim you for their hero, (G major)
(A major) Private (D major) White
Nineteen lives he meant to save
Not one back (G major) ward glance he gave
As he yelled (A major) for God and country
Through an open field he ran
But (D major) the enemy had seen
And they un (G major) derstood his scheme
And the fire (A major) from their machine guns
Knocked the rifle from his hand (D major)
Private Wilson (G major) White
America (A major) is (D major) proud tonight
Proud (A major) to claim you for their hero,
Private White (D major)
Seven bullets found their mark
Seven (G major) bullets near the heart
And the (A major) force of seven bullets
knocked the soldier to the ground
(D major) But his promise he must keep,
and he staggered (G major) to his feet
Ran toward (A major) the four machine guns
that pinned the soldiers down
(D major) Private (G major) Wilson White,
America is (D major) proud tonight
Proud to (A major) claim you for their (D major) hero, (A major)
Private White (D major)
Bullets flyin' everywhere,
smokin' (G major) gunfire fill the air
Onward ran (A major) the wounded soldier,
to keep the vow he made
(D major) Nearly dead but deep within
Was the strength (G major) to pull the pin
As he yelled, (A major) I died for freedom
He threw the (G major) (A major) hand grenade
(D major) Private (G major) Wilson White
America (A major) is (D major) proud tonight
Proud to (A major) claim you for their hero,
Private (D major) White.
