Chords with lyrics

No capo.

A minorAm
Tear this poor house down
A minorAm      E MajorE        A minorAm
When you know how to build it back
A minorAm                      A minorAm
Hammer and nails between your heart and your hometown
A minorAm     E MajorE      D MajorD        A minorAm
So you can carry this country on your back



C majorC
Mama flew the Keds sign
    C majorC
On the back of my little white shoes
E MajorE
Daddy never crossed the picket line
    E MajorE
It was hard but we made it through
     G+G
Only had one little pair of stonewashed jeans
    G+G
With a label on the back
   D MajorD
I'm a product of the never give up
 E MajorE       A minorAm
American Middle Class

A minorAm
Tear this poor house down
A minorAm      E MajorE        A minorAm
When you know how to build it back
A minorAm                      A minorAm
Hammer and nails between your heart and your hometown
A minorAm     E MajorE      D MajorD        A minorAm
So you can carry this country on your back




C majorC
Got my education at a school they could afford
E MajorE
Scholarships went to the rich and the grants went to the poor
   G+G
So I stood behind a little downtown bar
  G+G
For spending money, books and gas
    D MajorD
To be a certified member of the work too much
 E MajorE       A minorAm
American Middle Class

A minorAm
Now daddy can't get his pension or social security
A minorAm
Worked thirty damn years in a coal mine
A minorAm
Feeding welfare families
A minorAm
Struggle hard and hide it well
A minorAm
Sure ain't rich and you sure as hell
   D MajorD
Ain't poor enough to get one little break
    D MajorD
'Cause everything would collapse
      G+G
Without the hardworking, God-loving, members of
   E MajorE        A minorAm
The American Middle Class


A minorAm
Tear this poor house down
A minorAm      E MajorE        A minorAm
When you know how to build it back
A minorAm                      A minorAm
Hammer and nails between your heart and your hometown
A minorAm     E MajorE      D MajorD        A minorAm
So you can carry this country on your back
