It came back on some dog tags, nobody wears no more
Bm                 A                  G                 D/A
It's written on a headstone, in the field where he was slain

It's my last name


Chorus:
       G                      A                D
Passed down from generations, too far back to trace
      G            D/F#           Em7           A
I can see all my relations, when I look into my face
Bbaug-Bm                 A                G              D/A
     May never make it famous, but I'll never bring it shame
       Em7       D/F# Em7 Asus-A
It's my last name


D                          G           A
Daddy always told me, far back as I recall
D                   D/F#       G                A-Bbaug-Bm
Son you're part of something, you represent us all
Bm                  A          G           D/F#
So keep it how you got it, as solid as it came
       Em7       D/F# Em7 Asus-A
It's my last name
