American girls and American guys we'll always stand up and salute we'll always recognize
When we see Old Glory flying there's a lot of men dead so we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our heads
(from here until the end of the chorus use barre chords)
My daddy served in the army and he lost his right eye but he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died he wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me to grow up and live happy in the land of the free
Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack a mighty sucker punch came flying in
From somewhere in the back soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye man we
Lit up your world like the Fourth of July
CHORUS:
Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list and the Statue of Liberty started shaking
Her fist and the eagle will fly and it's gonna be hell when you hear mother freedom start
Ringing her bell and it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you brought
To you courtesy of the red white and blue
BRIDGE: D A Bm F# G D A (use regular chords)
Justice will be served and the battle will rage this big dog will fight when you rattle
G D (barre chord here) A
His cage you'll be sorry that you messed with the U S of A Cuz we'll put a boot in your
ass it's the American way
CHORUS (back to barre chords through the end)
Of the red white and blue
Of my red white and blue

I'm not sure about the GDA part at the end...just play around with it and it should be right. You can also mix up barre chords and normal chords...just mess around with it. Play it all with distortion, but go softer on the regular chords and pound it out on the barre chords. Or whatever. Just mess around with it.
