Am C G Am
Am Em C G D
[Verse 1]
G D C D
Was it just a dream? Were you so confused?
G D C
Was it just a giant leap of logic?
G D C D
Was it the time of year that makes a state of fear
G Dm F
Methods were their motives for the action
Am
And did I hear you say
[Chorus]
Am C F Am
My country, right or wrong
G D F
My country, right or wrong
G Am
My country, right or wrong

G D C D
Did you save your face? Did you breach your faith?
G D C
Women, there were children at the shelter
G D C D
Now who can stop the hail when human senses fail?
G Dm F
There was never any warning, no escape
Am
And did I hear you say
[Chorus]
Am C F Am
My country, right or wrong
G D F
My country, oh so strong
G Am
My country right or wrong
Am C F Am
My-y country, right or wrong
G D F
My country's going wrong
G Am
My country, right or wrong
[Bridge]
F#
I hear you say the truth must take a beating
D7
The flag a camouflage for your deceiving
E7 B
Cause I know, I know; it's written on your soul
C
I know we all make mistakes
[Solo]

(Spoken)
This is not a case of blurred vision
It's a case of black holes, pocket holes, soul holes
