Intro: Em 
 
         G     G/F#     Em           G        G/F#    Em 
Oh the cowards came by morning and attacked without a warning 
                                           Am 
Leaving flames and death and chaos in our streets 
  C                         B7                 Em 
In the middle of this fiery hell brave heroes fell 
G                 G/F#    Em        G   G/F#            Em 
In the skies of Pennsylvania on a plane bound for destruction 
                                       Am 
With the devil and his angels at the wheel 
C                                        B7 
They never reached their target on the ground 
                         Em 
Brave heroes brought it down 
 
Chorus: 
              G                       C 
This is a righteous cause so without doubt or pause 
       D                          G 
I will do what my country asks of me 
          G                C 
Make any sacrifice, we? pay whatever price 
         D                           G 
So the children of tomorrow can be free 
              Em 
Lead on red, white and blue 
             Bm          C                     Cm 
And we will follow you until we win the final victory 
            G                        C 
God help us do our best we will not slack nor rest 
           D                        Em 
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace 
 
 
          G      G/F#      Em          G        G/F#   Em 
Now the winds of war are blowing and there?no way of knowing 
                                            Am 
Where this bloody path we? traveling will lead 
C                       B7                   Em 
We must follow till the end, or face it all again 
 

         G    G/F#    Em      G         G/F#                   Em 
And make no mistake about it, write it, sing it, preach it, shout it 
                                              Am 
Across the mountains and the deserts and the seas 
C                           B7                        Em 
The blood of innocence and shame, will not be shed in vain 
 
Chorus: 
            G                         C 
God help us do our best we will not slack nor rest 
          D                         Em 
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace
