         Gm                  Bb            C                  Gm 
Well the eagle's been flying slow, and the flag's been flying low 
      F                         Am                  Gm 
And a lot of people saying that America's fixing to fall. 
    Gm                Bb          C           Gm 
But speaking just for me and some people from Tennessee, 
   F              Am              Gm 
We got a thing or two to tell you all. 
     C                           Gm 
This lady may have stumbled, but she ain't never fell 
           C                     
And if the Russians don't believe that,  
         D                  C   Bb 
They can all go straight to hell.  
            Gm                Bb             C                 Gm 
We're gonna put her feet back on the path of righteousness and then, 
F         Am      Gm 
God bless America again. 
 

        F                       Am                Gm   
And you never did think that it ever would happen again, 
Gm 
In America did ya, 
    F                         Am                 Gm                 
You never did think that we'd ever get together again, 
Gm 
But we damn sure fooled ya, 
F                            Am                 Gm       
Walkin' real proud and we're talkin' real loud again, 
Gm 
In America, 
    F                       Am                Gm   
You never did think that it ever would happen again. 
 
 
         Gm               Bb            C             Gm 
From the sound up in Long Island out to San Francisco Bay, 
    F             Am               Gm 
And everything between them is our home. 
       Gm              Bb            C                   Gm 
And we may have done a little bit of fighting amongst ourselves, 
        F              Am            Gm 
But you outside people best leave us alone. 
       C                                    Gm 
'Cause we'll all stick together and you can take that to the bank. 
          C                               D              C     Bb 
Thats the cowboys and the hippies and the rebels and the yanks. 
         Gm              Bb        C                   Gm 
You just go and lay your hand on a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, 
      F                  Am           Gm 
And I think you're gonna finally understand. 
 
 
        F                       Am                Gm   
And you never did think that it ever would happen again, 
Gm 
In America did ya, 
    F                         Am                 Gm                 
You never did think that we'd ever get together again, 
Gm 
But we damn sure fooled ya, 
F                            Am                 Gm       
Walkin' real proud and we're talkin' real loud again, 
Gm 
In America, 
    F                       Am                Gm   
You never did think that it ever would happen again.
