E5                                       A5
If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life,
     F#5                             D5               B5
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife,
    E5                          Ab5
I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today
           F#5                                       C#5           A5
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away

Chorus
        B5                                A5                E5
And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
      B5                                  A5                E5
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
                C#5       Ab5             A5                Ab5
And I'll gladly stand up, next to you, and defend her still today
             F#5             E5                   A5     B5     E5      
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea,
From Detroit down to Houston, from New York to LA,
Well there's pride in every American heart, 
And it's time we stand and say,
         B5                                 A5                E5
That I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free,
         B5                               A5                  E5
And I won`t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
                C#5       Ab5            A5               Ab5
And I'll gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today,
       F#5                   E5                   A5           C#5 / A5
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA
        B5                                 A5                E5
And I'm Proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free,
      B5                                  A5                 E5 
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me,
                C#5       Ab5            A5                Ab5
And I'll gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today,
             F#5             E5                    F#5   Ab5 A5  B5  E5
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God  bless  the  U  S   A.
