American Soldier

         A
I'm just tryin' to be a father, raise a daughter and a son
     E
Be a lover to their mother, everythin' to everyone
       D
Up and at 'em bright and early, I'm all business in my suit
         E
Yeah I'm dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots
        A
I don't do it for money, there's bills I that I can't pay
        E
I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway
   D
Providing for our future's, my responsibility
         E
Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be
            A
And I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekend's been too strong
       E
I just work straight through the holidays, and sometimes all night long
        D
You can bet that I stand ready, when the wolf growls at the door
        E
Hey I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey I'm true down to the core.

           A
And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
     E
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
       D
Oh and I don't want to die for you, but if dyin's asked of me
     E
I'll bear that cross with honor, cause freedom don't come free.

I'm an American Soldier an American
          F#m
Beside my brothers and my sisters, I will proudly take a stand
     D
When liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right

    A                            B
I'm out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight
