What Matters Most(Chords)

	        
        C                               F 
No, it ain't about the place he's been living for the past 8 months 
       C                                     F 
And it ain't about the badges on his uniform 
       C                             F 
And it ain't about the oil like they say it is in the news 
             C                                      C 
You'll never hear him say 'It don't matter anymore' 
 
                         C                F 
'Cause what matters most is still at home 
Am                         G                          F 
Gathered 'round the table, barely, barely able to get through the day 
                 C                               F 
Without thinking 'bout him, and their life with- out him 
   Am                 G                       F 
So he makes sure that they know that he knows what matters most 

  
C                                      F 
She gets mad when someone talks bad a- bout the red, white and blue 
         C                                    F 
She says they don't understand what it stands for 
        C                       C/G      F 
Said if they spend just one day on their knees in her shoes 
       C/E                                   F 
They'd be a little appreciative, of that I'm sure 

                         C                F 
'Cause what matters most is down the road 
       Am                          G                            F 
At the veterans cemetery where his best friends carried him and laid him down 
                 C                         F 
They think about him, and their life with- out him, 
Am                  G               F 
They make sure that everybody knows what matters most 

  
                  C                F 
What matters most is still at home 
     Am                   G                             F    G 
That little boy and girl, living in a world that's for- ever changed 
                 C                         F 
They think about him, and their life with- out him 
Am                  Bm              F 
They make sure that everybody knows 
      Am               G                      F 
Not a day goes by that they don't let it show what matters most 
  

C                               G      F 
She gets mad when someone talks bad a- bout the red, white and blue 
         C                                    F 
She says they don't understand what it stands for -----
