American girls, and American guys,
we’ll always stand up and salute we’ll
A Bb F
always, recognize when we see Old Glory flyin’,
there’s a-lotta men dead, so

when we laid down our heads

My daddy served in the Army, where-he lost his right eye
but he flew a
Dm A Bb
flag out in our yard, ’till the day that he died,
he wanted my mother, my
F C
brother, my sister an’ me, to grow up an’ live happy,
in the land of the free
F C Dm
Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack,
a mighty sucker-punch
A Bb
came flyin’ in from somewhere in the back,
soon as we could see clearly
F C Bb
through our big black eye, man we lit up your world
like the Fourth of July
Chorus {firm & sustained}
Dm C F
Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top a’ his list
an’ the Statue of Liberty
C Dm Bb
started shakin’ her fist an’ the eagle will fly,
an’ it’s gonna be hell,
F C Dm
when you hear Mother Freedom start ringin’ her bell
an’ it’ll feel like the
C Dm Bb C
whole wide world is rainin’ down on you, all brought
to your courtesy,
F
of the Red White and Blue
Instrumental {firmly}: F C Dm A Bb F C

Oh, justice will be served and the battle will rage,
this big dog will fight
A Bb F
when you rattle his cage, an’ you’ll be sorry
that you messed with, the U S

of A, ’cause we’ll put a boot in your ass
it’s the American way
Chorus {firm & sustained}:

Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top a’ his list
