[Verse 1]

   D             
If tomorrow all the things were gone
    G
I'd worked for all my life,
      C
And I had to start again
             Em              A
with just my children and my wife,
D             
  I'd thank my lucky stars
Em7   Bm            
to be livin' here today.
          Em                    
Cause the flag still stands for freedom
         Bm                      G
And they can't take that away.


[Chorus]

        A
And I'm proud to be an American
         G                D
Where at least I know I'm free
      A
And I won't forget the men who died
    G                  D
Who gave that right to me
             Bm       D                 G                D
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
            G                D
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
    G         A D
God bless the USA

[Verse 2]

         D            
From the lakes of Minnesota
       G 
To the hills of Tennessee
 C
Across the plains of Texas
     Em             A
From sea to shining sea
     D               
From Detroit down to Houston
Em7     Bm
    And New York to A 
             Em             
Well there's pride in every American heart
        Bm                       G
And its time we stand and say


[Chorus] 

         A
That I'm proud to be an American
         G                D
Where at least I know I'm free
      A
And I won't forget the men who died
    G                  D
Who gave that right to me
             Bm       D                 G              D
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
            G                D
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
    G         A   Bm  G
God bless the USA



[Chorus/Outro]

        A
And I'm proud to be an American
         G                D
Where at least I know I'm free
      A
And I won't forget the men who died
    G                  D
Who gave that right to me
             Bm       D                 G                D
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
            G                D
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
    G         A D
God bless the USA
