E5 
This ain't no rag it's a flag  
                                  A5  G5 
And we don't wear it on our heads. 
       E5                      
It's a symbol of the land where the good guys live 
                                  A5  G5 
Are you listening to what I said? 
 

         A5                                
You're a coward and a fool and you broke all the rules 
                                    A5  G5 
And you wounded our American pride. 
          E5                           
Now we're coming with a gun and we know you're gonna run 
 
But you can't find no place to hide. 
 

            B5                       
We're gonna hunt you down like a mad dog hound 
             D5 
And make you pay for the lives you stole. 
      E5 
We're all through talking and messing around 
                                    A5  G5 
And now it's time to rock and roll. 
 

      E5 
These colours don't run and we're speaking as one 
                            A5  G5 
When we say United We Stand. 
       E5 
If you mess with one, you mess with us all 
                                A5  G5 
Every boy, girl, woman and man. 
 

            A5 
You've been acting mighty rash and talking that trash, 
                                 A5  G5 
But let me give you some advice: 
        E5 
You can crawl back in your hole like a dirty little mole 
 
but now it's time to pay the price. 
 

               B5 
You might have shot us in the back,  
 
But now you have to face the fact 
         D5 
That the big boy's in the game. 
    E5 
The lightning's been flashing and the thunder's been crashing 
 
And now it's gettin ready to rain! 
 

            A5 
This is the United States of America 
 
The land of the brave and free 
     E5 
We believe in God, 
 
We believe in justice, 
 
We believe in Liberty. 
            A5 
You've been pulling our chain, 
 
We shoulda done something about you a long time ago 
 

            F#5 
But now the flag's flying high 
 
And the fur's gonna fly 
       B5 
So the whole world's gonna know. 
 
 
E5 
This ain't no rag it's a flag 
                             A5  G5 
Old glory red white and blue 
    E5 
The stars and stripes and when it comes to a fight 
                             A5  G5 
We can do what we have to do. 
 

    A5 
Our people stand proud, the American crowd 
                                 A5  G5 
Is faithful and loyal and tough. 
         E5 
We're as good as the best and better than the rest 
 
You're gonna find out soon enough. 
 

         B5 
When you look up in the sky and you see the eagle fly 
             D5 
You'd better know he's headed your way! 
 

E5 
This ain't no rag  it's a flag  
 
And it stands for the USA! 
 
USA! USA! USA! USA! 
 

E5     A5  G5   E5     A5  G5  A5      A5  G5  E5 
INSTRUMENTAL 
         E5 
When you look up in the sky and you see the eagle fly 
             D5 
You'd better know he's headed your way! 
       E5 
'Cause This ain't no rag 
 
It's a flag and it stands for the USA! 
 
 
USA! USA! USA! USA! (repeat throughout pledge of allegiance) 
 
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. 
 
Respect the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, 
 
Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
