[Verse]

 D                     F
Best of days livin' a simple life
         C                
There's nowhere to go when 
        G
there's only one stop light
      D                
His grandmother told him 
  F
"Don't you dare sign up
          C                G
They'll ship you away to places 

we ain't heard of
D             F
 Get a degree, and maybe be a doctor
C                     G
 Just ask your daddy, it won't matter 

once they got ya
D                      F
 Lifetimes you could spend to 

find out what she meant
 C                     
Her final dyin' breath, 
  G
this is what she said"
 
[Chorus]

  D                 F
"Long gone is the praise for 

those who fought for us
C              
Ashes to ashes, 
      G
turns out steel still rusts
  D                   F
Stone carved in your name, 

no one can really trust
  C                  G
Shoulder another soldier 

they stole from us
D                F
 Don't ever bend, 

Don't ever crawl
C                 G
 Supposed to stand and never fall
D                   F
 Long gone is the praise for 

those who fought for us
C              
Ashes to ashes, 
      G
turns out steel still rusts"
D       F                    C
 Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
G
 And steel still rusts
D         F                  C     G
 Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
 
 
[Verse]

    D                   F
A third of his life off in a foreign land
  C                    
Thanks for your service, 
    G
sincerely, Uncle Sam
 D                 F
Lost the best of friends 

he'd ever known
     C                       G
And no line of welcome signs once 

he got back home
D             F
 He got a job, a doorman at a dive bar
   C               G
Became a bodyguard, 

protecting famous rock stars
 D                 F
Lost count of the times 

he's been around the world
  C               
Promised grandmama 
      G
he'd never lose these words
 
 
[Chorus]

  D                 F
"Long gone is the praise for 

those who fought for us
C                     G
Ashes to ashes, turns out 

steel still rusts
  D                   F
Stone carved in your name,

 no one can really trust
  C                  G
Shoulder another soldier 

they stole from us
D                F
 Don't ever bend, don't ever crawl
C                 G
 Supposed to stand and never fall
D                   F
 Long gone is the praise for those 

who fought for us
C                     G
Ashes to ashes, turns out 

steel still rusts"
D       F                    C
 Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
G
 And steel still rusts
D         F                  C
 Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
             G
And dust to dust

[Bridge]

D                  F
 Forever feel the wounds 

that never heal
      C                
When fallen friends are 
       G
now a line of 

crosses in a field
 
 
[Chorus]

Long gone is the praise for those 

who fought for us

steel still rusts (Steel still rusts)
  D                   F
Stone carved in your name, 

no one can really trust
  C                  G
Shoulder another soldier 

they stole from us
D                F
 Don't ever bend, 

don't ever crawl
C                 G
 Supposed to stand and 

never fall (And never fall)
 D                 F
Long gone is the praise for those 

who fought for us
C             
Ashes to ashes,
      G
turns out steel still rusts
D       F                    C
 Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
      G
And steel still rusts

 (Steel still rusts)
D       F                    C
 Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
      G                D
And steel still rusts
