Those Last Ten Steps The Ballad Of Humayun Saqib Muazza Khan

Am C Am C Am His family moved from the UAE C To raise three sons in the Land of the Free D In Silver Spring, near Washington’s ring F E Books about Jefferson, a new anthem to sing Am At Jefferson’s school in Charlottesville C He Joined ROTC to help pay the bill D His dream was law school and advocacy F E Instead he signed up for the US Army. Am He loved his country and his faith C Left Virginia to fight in a foreign place D Planning to enroll into law school F E 9-11 came, his conscience did rule Am His soldiers’ lives, his utmost concern C Ambitions could wait for his return D Even the Iraqis called him friend F E Always a peacemaker, wanted to give till the end Am Those last ten steps C Saved hundreds of our soldiers F Those last ten steps Am E Saved the people of the town Am Those last Ten Steps C His final sacrifice D In the sands of foreign land F E Am For his country, he gave his life Am Two Thousand Four on mother’s day C He called his mom just to say D Don’t worry mom I’m doing alright F E I have a job to do…..the end is in sight Am Please don’t go outside the wire she said C Don’t let it be your blood that is shed D Don’t worry mom I will take care of my men F E So that they can come back home again Am Those last ten steps C Saved hundreds of our soldiers F Those last ten steps Am E Saved the people of the town Am Those last Ten Steps C His final sacrifice D In the sands of foreign land F E Am For his country, he gave his life Am In history books you will see C What this man really did that day D He told his men to hit the ground F E As death sped towards the gate….. hell bound Am Moving forward he extended his hand C Knowing he’d die in this foreign land D His actions, forced the driver to set F E off the bomb because of those ..... last ten steps. Am Those last ten steps C Saved hundreds of our soldiers F Those last ten steps Am E Saved the people of the town Am Those last Ten Steps C His final sacrifice D In the sands of foreign land F E Am For his country, he gave his life D In the sands of foreign land F E Am For his country, he gave his life D In the sands of foreign land F E Am For our country, he gave his life
