5   -5 6 6   6   6    6      6   6
If tomorrow all the things were gone 
 6    6     -5 -5  -5  -5
I'd worked for all my life 
-4  5  -5 -5   -5  -5 -5
And I had to start again 
-3'   -4  5   -5   5  -4  4   -4
With just my children and my wife 
 3    6   6   6 6    6
I'd thank my lucky stars 
5  -5  6  6    6  -6 5
To be living here today 
  -4    5   -5   -5     -5   -5   -5 -5
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom 
 5   -4    5    -6   -6 -6 -6
And they can't take that a-way 

Chorus:
-4  -4   -4   -4 6  6  6 -7  -7 -8
And I'm proud to be an A-mer-I--can 
  7   -7   7   7  -6  -5   6
Where at least I know I'm free 
-4 -4  -4   -4  6   6  -7  -7   -8
And I won't forget the men who died 
-7   7    7    -6   -5 6
Who gave that right to me 
 6   6   -6 -7   7   8   -8  7   7
And I'd gladly stand up next to you 
 6   6 -6  -6    6   -5 6
And defend her still today 
  -4     5    -5   -5  -6
'Cause there ain't no doubt 
6  6    7    7
I love this land 
 6   -6    7  7 7 7
God Bless the U.S.A. 
 5   -5    6   5   6 5 6 5
From the lakes of Minnesota 
5   5    6   -5  -5 5 -5
To the hills of Tennessee 
-5 -5  -5    -5   5  -5 -4
Across the plains of Texas 
 5   -5  -5  6  6    6-4
From sea to shining sea 
 4    5  6     6  5   6  5
From Detroit down to Houston 
 6  -7   7   -8 -7 6
And New York to L. A. 
 -4    5      -5   -5
Well there's pride in 
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5   6
Every American heart 
-6   -6   -6  6    6    5  -6
And it's time to stand and say 

Chorus:
 -4  -4   -4   -4 6  6  6 -7  -7 -8
That I'm proud to be an A-mer-I--can 
  7   -7   7   7  -6  -5   6
Where at least I know I'm free 
-4 -4  -4   -4  6   6  -7  -7   -8
And I won't forget the men who died 
-7   7    7    -6   -5 6
Who gave that right to me 
 6   6   -6 -7   7   8   -8  7   7
And I'd gladly stand up next to you 
 6   6 -6  -6    6   -5 6
And defend her still today 
  -4     5    -5   -5  -6
'Cause there ain't no doubt 
6  6    7    7
I love this land 
 6   -6    7  7 7 7
God Bless the U.S.A.
