Vox on the 5
If toDmorrow all the things were gone
GI’d worked for all my life
And I Emhad to start again
With just my chCildren and my wAife
DI’d thank my lucky stars
To be lF#miving here today
‘Cause the Emflag still stands for freedom
And they Bmcan’t take that awBmay-Gay
And I’m prAoud to be an American
Where at lGeast I know I’m frDee
And I wAon’t forget the men who died
Who gGave that right to mDe
And I gladly sBmtand up D/F#next to you
And defGend her still toD/F#day
Cause there Emain’t no doubt I D/F#love this land

Well there’s pEmride in every American heart
And it’s Bmtime we stand and saBmy-Gay

With military-ish snare drums
And I’m prAoud to be an American
Where at lGeast I know I’m frDee
And I wAon’t forget the men who died
Who gGave that right to mDe
