  B* 
This is the story of a six string soldier 
 Abm* 
Down in the trenches six years bolder 
 F#* 
Sleeve bloody from the heart he's worn there 
        E*                 F#*           Abm*      Bbm*       B* 
But the valley gives the mountain such a sweeter taste in my mouth 

                               Abm* 
Is so much louder than my thoughts and 
                                F#* 
I won't take my foot from the door stand 
                         E 
Up with your weapons of war 
     F#    Abm   Bbm   B 
'Cause the man is going down

verse 2: 

This is the glory of a boyhood pipe dream 
 Abm* 
To wear a crown and make the girls scream 
 F#* 
Tongue hungry for some more of that sweet tea 
     E            F#         Abm              Bbm                   B 
But the days of taking it easy for the honey could come back with a sting 


Di didido 
    Abm 
dididi dididaaaa 
 F# 
And I swear to go far 
E   F# 
So watch out

Bridge:(strum once) 
 C#m                      F# 
Though my heart is breaking now 
  B                     E 
You know I'll be back in town 
C#m                     F# 
And this love it will restore 
  B                 E 
Much finer than before 

E* 
This thing is huge(That's what she said) 
F#*                             E* 
It's just the beginning of something new 
 E*  F#*   Abm* Bbm*  B 
It's the start of me and
