Capo 2nd fret – Original in ‘D’
(C)American girls, (G)American guys,
We’ll always (Am)stand up and salute, we’ll always (E)recognize
When we (F)see old glory flyin there’s a (C) lot of men dead
So (G)we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head.
My daddy (C)served in the Army where he (G)lost his right eye
But he flew a (Am)flag out in our yard till the (E) day that he died
He wanted my (F)Mother, my brother, my (C)sister and me
To grow (G)up and live happy in the land of the free.
Now this (C)nation that I love has fallen (G)under attack
A mighty (Am)sucker punch came flyin’ in from (E)somewhere in the back
‘Soon as (F)we could see clearly thru our (C)big black eye
Man we (G)lit up your world like the 4th of July.
Hey, Uncle (F)Sam put your name at the (G)top of his list
And the (C)statue of liberty started (Am)shakin’ her fist
And the (F)eagle will fly and it’s (G)gonna be hell
When (C)you hear Mother Freedom start a-(Am)ringin’ her bell
And it’ll (F)feel like the whole wide (G)world is rainin’ down on (Am)you(Am7)
Ah, (F)brought to you courtesy (G)of the Red, White and (C)Blue.
Break: (G-Am-E-F-C-G-G7)
Ah, (C)justice will be served and the (G)battle will rage
This (Am)big dog will fight when you (E)rattle his cage
You’ll be (F)sorry that you messed with the (C)U.S of (D)A.
Cause we’ll put a (G)boot in your ass, it’s the American Way
Hey, Uncle (F)Sam put your name at the (G)top of his list
And the (C)statue of liberty started (Am)shakin’ her fist
And the (F)eagle will fly and it’s (G)gonna be hell
When (C)you hear Mother Freedom start a-(Am)ringin’ her bell
And it’ll (F)feel like the whole wide (G)world is rainin’ down on (Am)you
Ah, (F)brought to you courtesy (G)of the Red, White and (C)Blue.
(G)Oo(Am)ooh, (F)of the Red, White and (C)Blue,
(G)Oo(Am)oh (F)of my Red White and (C)Blue.
