Neal McCoy

Intro:
C       F       C      G      C

Verse 1:
    C                                     F                   C                  G
I pledge allegiance to the flag,  Of the United States,   Of America,
       C                          F                                 C                  G
I'll stand and place my hand upon my heart,  Every time her anthem plays,
            F           G7       C                   Am
And when I see somebody on TV,  Take their stand on bended knee,
  F              F            Am            Am7
Whether it's on AstroTurf or grass,
   C                     C              G             G           C
I think of those whose freedom was not free,   And I say, “Take a knee?    My Ass.”

Chorus 1:
       F                                 C
I'll stand up for my flag,  Take off my hat for Old Glory,
       G                                             C
Thank God I live in the home of the brave,  And the land of the free,
      F                                   C                Am
I'll honor the ones who gave it all,  So we're all free to go and play ball,
    C              G                   C                 G
If only for their sake,   I won't take a knee.

Verse 2:
      C                         F
From Valley Forge to Vietnam,  9/11 to Afghanistan,
 C                                G
That star spangled banner does yet wave,
   C                              F                         C                   G
I won't forget,  I owe a debt of gratitude,  I never can repay,
 F              G7              C              Am
Arm in arm and side by side,  American heroes fought and died,
    F               F                Am              Am7
Is showing some respect too much to ask?
    C                    C               G            G            C
I speak for those whose freedom was not free,  And I say, “Take a knee?    My Ass.”

Chorus 2:
      F                                 C
I'll stand up for my flag,  Take off my hat for Old Glory,
       G                                             C
Thank God I live in the home of the brave,  And the land of the free,
      F                                   C                Am
I'll honor the ones who gave it all,  So we're all free to go and play ball,
    C              G                      C                      F
If only for their sake,   I won't take a knee.   Oh say can you see?
