D5 
Well, if you ask me where I come from 
D5 
Here's what I tell everyone 
G5 
I was born by God's dear grace 
      D5 
In a extra - ordinary place 
           E5                G5                 D5 
Where the Stars and Stripes   and the Eagle flies. 
 
 
D5 
It's a big ol' land with countless dreams 
D5 
And happiness ain't out of reach. 
      G5 
Hard work pays off the way it should. 
               D5 
Ya, I've seen enough to know that we've got it good! 
           E5              ( F#5 )-G5                D5 
Where the Stars and Stripes      and the Eagle flies. 
 

           C5                     G5                     D5 
There's a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe. 
               C5                           G5 
And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to 
          A5 - - - - - - A/
      be free - - - - -  
 

     D5 
I pledge allegiance to this flag 
    D5 
And if that bothers you, well that's too bad! 
        G5 
But if you got pride and you're proud you do -  
               D5 
Hey, we could use some more like me and you. 
           E5              ( F#5 )-G5                D5 
Where the Stars and Stripes      and the Eagle flies.

       D5 
No, it ain't the only place on earth 
    D5 
But it's the only place that I prefer 
    G5 
To love my wife and raise my kids 
          D5 
Hey, the same way that my daddy did. 
           E5              ( F#5 )-G5                D5 
Where the Stars and Stripes      and the Eagle flies. 
           E5              ( Em-F#5 )/ ( F#5 )-G/                D5
