Song of the Day for Sunday, November 21, 2010.
This song speaks of maybe one of my high school friends who had to go to Viet Nam and fight.  It's a powerful love song sung by a dying soldier and that's what drew me to it.  
In the background, you can see the flag that was given to us by the American Legion when my father passed away along with his American Legion cap.  Below are pictures of our three children when they were small.

   C
Gonna close my eyes
         G
Girl and watch you go
          F             F
Running through this life darling
       C
Like a field of snow
       C
As the tracer glides
       G
In its graceful arc
        F               Dm
Send a little prayer out to ya
         C
'cross the falling dark

        F
Tell the repo man
       Dm
And the stars above
            C         | C | C |
You're the one I love

        C
Perfect summers night
      G
Not a wind that breathes
        F                F
Just the bullets whispering gentle
            C
'mongst the new green leaves
             C
There's things I might have said
       G
Only wish I could
       F            Dm
Now I'm leaking life faster
         C
Then I'm leaking blood

        F
Tell the repo man
       Dm
And the stars above
        C
You're the one I love
          G
You're the one I love
                    
    Dm         F | Am  G | F | Am  G | F | Am  G | F |
The one I love


       C
Don't see Elysium
            G
Don't see no fiery hell
        F              F
Just the lights up bright baby
        C
In the bay hotel
       C
Next wave coming in
        G
Like an ocean roar
         F             Dm
Won't you take my hand darling
         C
On that old dancefloor

       F
We can twist and shout
      Dm
Do the turtle dove
              C
And you're the one I love
           G
You're the one I love
                    
    Dm         F | Am  G | F | Am  G | F | Am  G | F | C
The one I love
