VERSE:
     FF       C majorC
All the old men at the diner
     FF         C majorC
Tellin’ tales too tall to tell
       FF         C majorC
They’re all braggin’ about the good ol` days
        G+G
And how this country has gone to hell

      FF     C majorC
But as for me, I believe
      G+G        A minorAm
We got a heartland full of hope
       FF
We`re comin’ back around

‘Cause you can’t hold down the American Soul


VERSE:
     FF        C majorC
It’s the joy of grandma laughin’
   FF       C majorC
At grandpa’s funny jokes
     FF          C majorC
It’s the rumble of those ol` baseball cards
 G+G
Flappin’ between the spokes

     FF       C majorC
It’s a Fourth of July picnic
      G+G         A minorAm
It’s farm-made and rock and roll
   FF
From town to town

You can hear the sound of the American Soul

CHORUS:
     G+G   A minorAm
Oh, say can you see
        FF
That flag you wave
        C majorC
Freedom ain’t free
           G+G
In the home of the brave

     A minorAm
It’s the roots and the boots
              FF
From the hard hat to the steel toe

     C majorC
It’s the hustle and bustle
                    G+G
Blood, sweat, and tears that build the backbone
         FF
Of the American Soul

     FF F C majorC  C majorC   FF F G+G C majorC

VERSE:
     FF         C majorC
It’s the words of “Amazing Grace”
      FF       C majorC
And it’s “Born in the U.S.A.”
      FF       C majorC
It’s those Yankees in the playoffs
    G+G
Those Cowboys on a Sunday

    FF        C majorC
It’s a red, white, and blue
     G+G         A minorAm
It’s the yellow, brown, and black
      FF
It’s those rotten ol` Republicans

And those darned ol` Democrats


CHORUS:
   G+G   A minorAm
Say can you see
          FF
The flag that you wave
        C majorC
Freedom ain’t free
           G+G
In the home of the brave

     A minorAm
It’s the roots and the boots
              FF
From the hard hat to the steel toe

     C majorC
It’s the hustle and bustle
                    G+G
Blood, sweat, and tears that build the backbone
         A minorAm FF
Of the American Soul
         C majorC G+G
Of the American Soul


CHORUS:
        A minorAm
Oh, say can you see
          FF
The flag that you wave
        C majorC
Freedom ain’t free
           G+G
In the home of the brave

     A minorAm
It’s the roots and the boots
              FF
From the hard hat to the steel toe

     C majorC
It’s the hustle and bustle
                    G+G
Blood, sweat, and tears that build the backbone
         FF
Of the American Soul

     FF F C majorC  C majorC   FF F G+G C majorC

OUTRO:
    FF        C majorC
All we need is a little love
     FF      C majorC
To knock off a little rust
   FF         C majorC
Take time to shine that penny
G+G              (C majorC)
 So we can read “In God We Trust”
