VERSE:
        F                  C
I wear boots just like my daddy
         F                   C
They`ve seen their share of dirt
         F             C
I ain`t looking for a handout
           G           C
`Cause my hands still work

        F               C
Got a place out in the country
            F                C
A piece o` land, a peace o` mind
              F             C
Well I ain`t got a pile of money
            G      C
But what I got is mine


CHORUS:
        Am          F        C      G
`Cause I`ve worked hard, put in my time
 Am          F        C          G
Chased the stars and earned my stripes
    Am      F       C     G
And I will fight until I die
    F          C        G     C
To keep this American dream alive


VERSE:
       F                C
Got a pretty girl that loves me
               F               C
She`s got my heart and got my back
           F             C
I got the good Lord up above me
            G       C
To keep it all on track

         F                   C
I got a boy that looks just like me
            F           C
He watches everything I do
          F                 C
So if he sees how hard I`m trying
      G        C
Maybe he will too


CHORUS:
        Am          F        C      G
`Cause I`ve worked hard, put in my time
 Am          F        C          G
Chased the stars and earned my stripes
    Am      F       C     G
And I will fight until I die
    F          C        G     F
To keep this American dream alive


INSTRUMENTAL:
C  G  Am  F  C  G


BREAK:
        F                 C
We all get to write our story
        F           C
And be who we wanna be
             F               C
But those of us who fly Old Glory
         G          C
Know it don`t come free.


CHORUS:
Am       F        C       G
We work hard, put in our time
 Am           F        C           G
Chase those stars and earned our stripes
    Am       F       C      G
And we will fight until we die
    F          C        G     Am
To keep this American dream alive
