Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: G
[Intro]
G C
[Verse 1]
G
Wanna know what Uncle Joe thinks?
C
We oughta take them tanks and guns and bombs
G C
And load them planes and get them boys and girls on home
G
That gets my dad mad, boiling red
C
Revved up vein poppin' outta his head
G
Sayin' you pull out now, you shame the ones
C
Who fought and bled and came home dead
Am G
For your right to gripe, left to right
C G
Then momma shouts, boys hush your mouth
Am Bm C
Grab a plate and bow your heads
And be thankful when the grace is said 'cause...
[Chorus]
G C D
That's the thing about America
G C D
You can dream or do or say what you wanna
Em C
You can run it down if you can back it up
G D
You can burn the flag or be the man
Am G
Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned
C
If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread
On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red
G D
That's the thing about America
[Interlude]
G C
[Verse 2]
G
Now the coffee and the TV's on
C G
And we're eating the pie handed down
From my grandma's side from her grandma
C
When she arrived back in '25
G
She tells us all again
C
How her mom came off of that big boat
G
With all them folks all skin and bones
C
And an angry mob sayin' go back home
Am G
Now the anchorman says they're making plans
C G
Fencing up the Rio Grande
Am G C
Aunt Kitty drops her fork and shouts Amen
And granny says hell just let 'em all in
[Chorus]
G C D
That's the thing about America
G C D
You can dream or do or say what you wanna
Em C
You can run it down if you can back it up
G D
You can burn the flag or be the man
Am G
Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned
C
If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread
On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red
G D Em
That's the thing about America
[Interlude]
C D Em
[Chorus]
G C D
That's the thing about America
G C D
You can dream or do or say what you wanna
Em C
You can run it down if you can back it up
G D
You can burn the flag or be the man
Am G
Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned
C
If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread
On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red
G D
That's the thing about America
G C D
That's the thing about America
