         G5                  Bb5            C5                  G5 
Well the eagle's been flying slow, and the flag's been flying low 
      F5                         A5                  G5 
And a lot of people saying that America's fixing to fall. 
    G5                Bb5          C5           G5 
But speaking just for me and some people from Tennessee, 
   F5              A5              G5 
We got a thing or two to tell you all. 
     C5                           G5 
This lady may have stumbled, but she ain't never fell 
           C5                     
And if the Russians don't believe that,  
         D5                  C5   Bb5 
They can all go straight to hell.  
            G5                Bb5             C5                 G5 
We're gonna put her feet back on the path of righteousness and then, 
F5         A5      G5 
God bless America again. 
 

        F5                       A5                G5   
And you never did think that it ever would happen again, 
G5 
In America did ya, 
    F5                         A5                 G5                 
You never did think that we'd ever get together again, 
G5 
But we damn sure fooled ya, 
F5                            A5                 G5       
Walkin' real proud and we're talkin' real loud again, 
G5 
In America, 
    F5                       A5                G5   
You never did think that it ever would happen again. 
 
 
         G5               Bb5            C5             G5 
From the sound up in Long Island out to San Francisco Bay, 
    F5             A5               G5 
And everything between them is our home. 
       G5              Bb5            C5                   G5 
And we may have done a little bit of fighting amongst ourselves, 
        F5              A5            G5 
But you outside people best leave us alone. 
       C5                                    G5 
'Cause we'll all stick together and you can take that to the bank. 
          C5                               D5              C5     Bb5 
Thats the cowboys and the hippies and the rebels and the yanks. 
         G5              Bb5        C5                   G5 
You just go and lay your hand on a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, 
      F5                  A5           G5 
And I think you're gonna finally understand. 
 
 
        F5                       A5                G5   
And you never did think that it ever would happen again, 
G5 
In America did ya,

You never did think that we'd ever get together again, 
G5 
But we damn sure fooled ya, 
F5                            A5                 G5       
Walkin' real proud and we're talkin' real loud again,

In America,

You never did think that it ever would happen again.
