[Intro]
F G F F G
[Verse 1]
FShot down and he was barely 31
GAnother woke coward took a life with a gun
C#m FHe left behind a wife and a daughter and a son
G BmAll he did was try to speak for all of us
FAnd I'm so tired of the hatred and the narratives
GThe patriots ain't dangerous woke people are the terrorists
FThey shot and killed the father sent a message to
Americans
G They ain't gonna stop until they bury us
[Verse 2]
C#mDear Charlie
F GI don't know if you can see us now but if heaven has a window
I sure hope you're looking down
FCause we ain't going quiet
GWe gonna scream your name loud and you're gone
FBut I swear to God that we gonna make you proud
FWe ain't backing off or giving up
I'll preach what you taught me
GThey may have killed a soldier but that man had an army
FThis is far more deep than some political parties
Gand you can't kill freedom
FSo this one is for Charlie
[Chorus]
C#m FThis ain't the America that all our parents loved
Gbut good man tried to keep making it great
FPray that God will take care of us
The system is failing us
GWhen good men die for the things that they say
FAnd I can't just be quiet
G So I gotta be brave
FCause this is America
[Verse 3]
Lately it's scaring us
G FBut one good man can change it all in a day
C#m F Killed in cold blood for having a discussion
G And liberals are celebrating murder like it's justice
FYou didn't kill a villain or the evil that it comes with
G Bm You killed a father and a husband
[Verse 4]
C#m F And I'm so tired of the left and all the wokery
G We can't get along if you just kill us when we don't agree
F Sniper rifle fire from a liberal that no one sees
G Bm Scared I might be next to die when
C#mI'm just buying groceries
[Bridge]
FCharlie we'll make sure your children know that
Gdefending all our freedom is why you aren't coming home
FI hope heaven has a window you can watch your
G Fchildren grow and hear your message echo from below
C#mAnd we ain't backing off or giving up
FI'll preach what you taught me
GThey may have killed a soldier but that man had an army
FThis is far more deep than some political parties
And you can't kill freedom so this one is for Charlie
[Chorus]
C#m FThis ain't the America that all our parents love
but good men try to keep making it great
G F Pray that God will take care of us
G FThe system is failing us but good men die for the things that they say
FAnd I can't just be quiet
G F So I got to be brave because this is America
GLately it's scaring us but one good man can change it all in a day
