[Verse]
  Dm              Dm
A short man from Texas
  C          Dm
A man of the wild
Dm           Dm
Thrown into combat,
      F          C
Where bodies lie piled
Dm         Dm
Hides his emotions,
     C               Dm
His blood is running cold
     Dm        Dm
Just like his victories,
    Gm      A
His story unfolds

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb              F
Bright, a white light,
           Cm
If there'd be,
             Gm
Any glory in war
       Bb
Let it rest,
       A
On men like him
Bb    A   Gm   A Bb Gm   A
Dead men will never come back

[Chorus]
Dm              F
Crosses grow on Anzio
      C
Where no soldier sleeps
          Am               Dm
And where hell is six feet deep
       Dm
That death does wait
        F
There's no debate
   Am           C
So charge and attack
      Am          Dm
Going to hell and back

[Verse 2]
Dm            Dm
A man of the 15th
  C          Dm
A man of Can Do
Dm            Dm
Friends fall around him
    F           C
And yet he came through
Dm            Dm
Let them fall face down
C            Dm
If they must die
Dm         Dm
Making it easier
   Gm      A
To say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb              F
Bright, a white light,
           Cm
If there'd be,
             Gm
Any glory in war
       Bb
Let it rest,
            A
On men like him
Bb   A   Gm  A   Bb   Gm   A
Who went to hell and came back

[Chorus]
Dm              F
Crosses grow on Anzio
      C
Where no soldier sleeps
          Am               Dm
And where hell is six feet deep
      Dm
That death does wait
        F
There's no debate
   Am           C
So charge and attack
      Am          Dm
Going to hell and back

[Bridge]
Bb         C
Oh gather 'round me
    Dm
And listen while I speak
     Bb        C                Dm
Of a war where hell is six feet deep
    Bb            C
And all along the shore
      Dm            F
Where cannons still roar
        F           Bb
They're haunting my dreams
              F            C
They're still there when I sleep

[Outro]
       Fm              Ab
He saw crosses grow on Anzio
      Cm         Eb
Where no soldier sleeps
          Fm
And where hell is six feet deep

That death does wait
        Ab
There's no debate
   Cm           Eb
He charged and attack
        Cm           Fm
He went to hell and back
