Unreleased, Live November 16 2005 version

    G                      D          G                 D  
Cigarettes and a bottle of beer, this poem that I wrote for you
           G                    D             G                     D 
This black stone and these hard tears they're all I've got left now of you
    Bm                                                                    D
I remember you in your Marine uniform laughing, laughing at your ship out party
          Bm                            D
I've read Robert McNamara, he says he's sorry

                   G                 D          G                   D
Yeah, you and your boots and black t-shirt, oh, Billy you looked so bad
     G                          D            G                              D        
Yeah you and your rock and roll band was the best thing this shit town ever had
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bruce_springsteen/the_wall_crd.html ]
        Bm                                                    D
Now the men that put you here eat with their families in rich dining halls
      Bm                                         D
And apology and forgiveness got no place here at all, here at the wall

    G                            D                G              D
I'm sorry that I missed you last year, I couldn't find no one to drive me
        G                                 D              G               D   
If your eyes could cut through that black stone, tell me would they recognize me

        Bm                                  D
For the living time it must be served, life goes on
    Bm                                      D
Cigarettes and a bottle of beer and skin on black stone

| G | G | G | D | G | G | G | D | D |

            G                  D                G                  D     
High school pictures and paper flowers, there's ribbons as red as the blood
            G                D       G                  D
Yeah as the blood you spilled in the Central Highlands mud
         Bm                                             D
Now the limousines rush down Pennsylvania Avenue as the rain falls
 Bm                                       D
Apology and forgiveness got no place here at all
