(RIP 11-06-1976 to 4-22-2004)
Pat
Tillman was a famous Arizona football star for the University of
Arizona and for the Arizona Cardinals professional team. After the
attacks of 9/11 he felt compelled to enlist in the US Army to fight
in the “war on terror” based on the "official story" of
9/11.
“He
believed the ‘official story’ Bush told of the attack… to take
the ‘war on terror’ to Afghanistan and Iraq”. His friends and
family reported after his death that he had been questioning the
legality of the wars. He told some of them that he might become
active in the peace movement should he be able to make it home.
Pat
Tillman had enlisted with his brother Kevin in the US Army Rangers.
They served together in Iraq & Afghanistan before Pat was killed.
The Pentagon made up a phony "glory story" about Tillman's
death to continue to use him as a recruitment poster boy. The
circumstances of his death became extremely controversial as the
Tillman family pressed on for the truth. The story changed from a
combat "glory story" to a death by "friendly fire"
story, but not until after the funeral that Army brass participated
in.
Even
later, the Army coroner's report was released to the Associated
Press. That report said that Pat Tillman died by "3 bullets to
the forehead at 10 yards range". The last story was either
greeted with ridicule or completely ignored by the corporate press.

Ballad
of Pat Tillman
Verse:
GGDD / CCGG / GGDD / CCGG
Pat
Tillman was a kind and a caring little boy
He
brought his mom and pop a lot o’ laughter, pride, and joy
They
tried to teach their son how to tell the right from wrong
How
not to be a bully just because you’re big and strong
Young
Tillman was a legendary famous football star
He
was handsome. He was humble, and admired from afar
He
made a lot o’ big plays for his Arizona team…
And
he made a lot of money in the American dream!
But
after Nine-Eleven, he had to throw it all away
To
fight those “evil doers” who could kill in such a way
When
the Towers and the Pentagon were scenes of blood and death
Pat
Tillman swore to avenge them or to breathe his dyin’ breath
Chorus:
DDCC / EmEmB7B7 / CCGG / DDEmEm
So
remember Patrick Tillman when those flags are all displayed
How
the Empire stole “Old Glory” for a fear and hate parade!
Yes,
remember Patrick Tillman! The many like him lies have made!
And
Hell has no fury like a patriot betrayed!
Bridge:
CCGG/ DDB7B7/ CCGG/ DDEmEm
He
believed the “official story” Bush told of the attack
To
take the “war on terror” to Afghanistan and Iraq
He
started asking questions from those far-off battlefields
He
was reading Noam Chomsky… to his mother he revealed
On
that fateful day when those bullets cut him down
Well,
he was hailed a hero in every little town
The
Pentagon exploited him as a recruitment poster boy
Made
up a phony story for the media to deploy
His
parents at the funeral were torn with grief and strife
They
were used just like young Patrick who’d just lost his only life
The
tragic truth was not revealed! It was “friendly murder”, not the
foe!
They
were lied to like the “hero” of the propaganda show
(chorus)
Bridge:
CCGG/ DDB7B7/ CCGG/ DDEmEm
They
were roundly castigated when they dared to tell aloud
How
their son investigated…How that also made them proud
How
he planned to work for peace, if he’d ever make it back
Pious
pundits called them “traitors” in a wolf pack attack
Pat
Tillman was a legendary famous football star
He
was handsome. He was humble, and admired from afar
He
made a lot of forays for his Army Ranger team…
But
Patrick died for Bush’s lies…For a nightmare, not a dream!
Alive
he might be helping take the treason team apart
He
was bravely asking questions, yes, and he was very smart
If
Nine-Eleven Truth reveals a home-made psy-war raid…
Then
this phony “war on terror” ‘s just a cover-up charade!
(chorus)
(Ending:
Repeat last chorus line and end on Em flourish or fade.)
