Verse 1:
C majorC FF C majorC G+G
I pledge allegiance to the flag, Of the United States, Of America,
C majorC FF C majorC G+G
I'll stand and place my hand upon my heart, Every time her anthem plays,
FF G7G7 C majorC A minorAm
And when I see somebody on TV, Take their stand on bended knee,
FF FF A minorAm Am7Am7
Whether it's on AstroTurf or grass,
C majorC C majorC G+G G+G C majorC
I think of those whose freedom was not free, And I say, “Take a knee? My Ass.”
Chorus 1:
FF C majorC
I'll stand up for my flag, Take off my hat for Old Glory,
G+G C majorC
Thank God I live in the home of the brave, And the land of the free,
FF C majorC A minorAm
I'll honor the ones who gave it all, So we're all free to go and play ball,
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
If only for their sake, I won't take a knee.
Verse 2:
C majorC FF
From Valley Forge to Vietnam, 9/11 to Afghanistan,
C majorC G+G
That star spangled banner does yet wave,
C majorC FF C majorC G+G
I won't forget, I owe a debt of gratitude, I never can repay,
FF G7G7 C majorC A minorAm
Arm in arm and side by side, American heroes fought and died,
FF FF A minorAm Am7Am7
Is showing some respect too much to ask?
C majorC C majorC G+G G+G C majorC
I speak for those whose freedom was not free, And I say, “Take a knee? My Ass.”
