Same here because it's about an actual event. It always did make my throat tighten a little. That line "Fellows its been good to know ya" makes ya think about how it might feel to know your days are over.

Chills
Every one has this ONE song that sends a chill and a shiver down their spine whenever heard. Post yours.
"There Stands The Glass"- Van Morrison- live version from Austin City Limits.
Talk about cryin' in your beer...
Oh yeah- a few more that make me cry- "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" by that big Hawaiin guy, and just about anything by Patsy Cline and Marty Robbins, and last but not least, the one song that always makes me cry, is "Broken Hearts Are For Assholes" by Frank Zappa.

I'm not a huge contemporary country fan but there is a song out right now by Jamey Johnson that sends a chill down my spine, and for some reason, gets me all choked up. It's called "In Color". If you are not familiar with it, I recommend it. He brings back the Waylon bad boy sound and this song is touching:
I said, Grandpa what’s this picture here
It’s all black and white and ain’t real clear
Is that you there, he said, yeah I was eleven
Times were tough back in thirty-five
That’s me and Uncle Joe just tryin’ to survive
A cotton farm in the Great Depression
And if it looks like we were scared to death
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color
This one here was taken overseas
In the middle of hell in nineteen forty-three
In the winter time you can almost see my breath
That was my tail gunner ole’ Johnny McGee
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans
And he had my back right through the day we left
And if it looks like we were scared to death
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color
A picture’s worth a thousand words
But you can’t see what those shades of gray keep covered
You should have seen it in color
This one is my favorite one
This is me and grandma in the summer sun
All dressed up the day we said our vows
You can’t tell it here but it was hot that June
That rose was red and her eyes were blue
And just look at that smile I was so proud
That’s the story of my life
Right there in black and white
And if it looks like we were scared to death
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color
A picture’s worth a thousand words
But you can’t see what those shades of gray keep covered
You should have seen it in color
You should have seen it in color
I said, Grandpa what’s this picture here
It’s all black and white and ain’t real clear
Is that you there, he said, yeah I was eleven

Sonic Youths version of "Superstar" found on "If I Were a Carpenter" compilation/tribute album.
Also a good stereophonic bone chiller was The Hooters "All You Zombies" from back in the big hair days. (opening passage/mondo volume)

Ever listen to Summertime version by the Zombies? That's a song that sends a chill down my spine.

Yes! The whole symphony is magnificent but the fourth movement is the work of genius looking inward and seeing mortality. The one piece in which Beethoven stands next to the giants JS Bach & GF Handel and transcends them! It is to music as the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is to painting.

Anyone who loves that song should (or simply must) hear The Mary Ellen Carter by the late, great Stan Rogers. He does it almost acapella, and his voice alone is sufficient to raise the hairs on the back of my neck. It is as haunting, as the G Lightfoot song, and covers the same sort of subject.
Stan's song The Witch of the Westmorland gives me chills, also.
