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