A#DmCmFA#DmCmF[Verse 1]A#
If tomorrow all the things were gone
D#
I'd worked for all my life,
G#
And I had to start again
CmF
With just my family by my side
A#
I'd thank my lucky stars
CmGm
to be livin' here today.
Cm
Cause the flag still stands for freedom
GmD#
And they can't take that away.
[Chorus]F
And I'm proud to be an American
D#A#
Where at least I know I'm free
F
And I won't forget the men who died
D#A#
Who gave that right to me
GmA#D#A#
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
D#A#
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
D#FA#
God bless the USA
[Interlude]DmCmFA#DmCmF[Verse 2]A#
From the lakes of Minnesota
D#
To the hills of Tennessee
G#
Across the plains of Texas
CmF
From sea to shining sea
A#
From Detroit down to Houston
CmGm
And New York to A
Cm
Well there's pride in every American heart
GmD#
And its time we stand and say
[Chorus]F
That I'm proud to be an American
D#A#
Where at least I know I'm free
F
And I won't forget the men who died
D#A#
Who gave that right to me
GmA#D#A#
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
D#A#
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
D#FGmD#
God bless the USA
(x2)
[Outro]F
And I'm proud to be an American
D#A#
Where at least I know I'm free
F
And I won't forget the men who died
D#A#
Who gave that right to me
GmA#D#A#
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
D#A#
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
D#FA#
God bless the USA
