[Intro]
| C#m7 E/G# | A - | C#m7 E/G# | A Badd11 |
[Verse 1]
C#m7 E/G#
Shot down and he was barely thirtyone
A
Another woke coward took a life with a gun
C#m7 E/G#
He left behind a wife and a daughter and a son
A Badd11
All he did was try to speak for all of us
C#m7 E/G#
And Iâm so tired of the hatered and the narratives
A
The patriots ainât dangerous,
woke people are the terrorists
C#m7
They shot and killed the father,
E/G#
sent a message to Americans
A Badd11
They ainât gonna stop until they bury us
C#m7
Dear Charlie,
E/G#
I donât know if you can see us now
A
But if Heaven has a window,
I sure hope youâre looking down
C#m7
âCause we ainât going quiet,
E/G#
we gonâ scream your name loud
A
And youâre gone,
Badd11
but I swear to God that we gonâ make you proud
C#m7
We ainât backing off or giving up,
E/G#
Iâll preach what you taught me
A
They may have killed a soldier,
but that man had an army
C#m7 E/G#
This is far more deep than some political parties
And you canât kill freedom so this one is for Charlie
[Chorus]
C#m7 E/G#
This ainât the America that all our parents loved
A
But good men tried to keep making it great
C#m7
Pray that God will take care of us,
E/G#
the system is failing us
A Badd11
When good men die for the things that they say
C#m7 E/G#
And I canât just be quiet
A
So I gotta be brave
C#m7 E/G#
âCause this is America, lately itâs scaring us
A Badd11
But one good man can change it all in a day
[Verse 2]
C#m7 E/G#
Killed in cold blood for having a discussion
A
And liberals are celebrating murder like itâs justice
C#m7 E/G#
You didnât kill a villain or the evil that it comes with
A Badd11
You killed a father and a husband
C#m7 E/G#
And Iâm so tired of the left and all the wokery
A
We canât get along if you just kill us when we donât
agree
C#m7 E/G#
Sniper rifle fire from a liberal that no one sees
A Badd11
Scared I might be next to die when Iâm just buying
groceries
C#m7
Charlie,
E/G#
weâll make sure your children know
A
That defending all our freedom is why you arenât coming
home
C#m7 E/G#
I hope Heaven has a window you can watch your children grow
A Badd11
And hear your message echo from below
C#m7
And we ainât backing off or giving up,
E/G#
Iâll preach what you taught me
A
They may have killed a soldier,
but that man had an army
C#m7 E/G#
This is far more deep than some political parties
And you canât kill freedom so this one is for Charlie
[Chorus]
C#m7 E/G#

A
So I gotta be brave
C#m7 E/G#
