| D | G | x6
[Verse 1]
D G | D | G |
I been knocking on the door that holds the throne
D G | D | G |
I been looking for the map that leads me home
A G
I been stumbling on good hearts turned to stone
A G
The road of good intentions has gone dry as a bone
[Chorus]
D G
We take care of our own
D G
We take care of our own
D G
Wherever this flag's flown
D G
We take care of our own
[Verse 2]
D G | D | G |
From Chicago to New Orleans, from the muscle to the bone
D G | D | G |
From the shotgun shack to the Super Dome
A G
There ain't no help, the cavalry stayed home
A G
There ain't no one hearing the bugle blowin'
[Chorus]
D G
We take care of our own
D G
We take care of our own
D G
Wherever this flag's flown
D G
We take care of our own

[Verse 3]
D G
Where're the eyes, the eyes with the will to see
D G
Where are the hearts that run over with mercy
D G
Where's the love that has not forsaken me
D G
Where's the work that'll set my hands, my soul free
D G
Where's the spirit that'll reign rain over me
D G
Where's the promise from sea to shining sea
D G
Where's the promise from sea to shining sea
A G
Wherever this flag's flown
A G
Wherever this flag's flown
A G
Wherever this flag's flown
[Chorus]
D G
We take care of our own
D G
We take care of our own
D G
Wherever this flag's flown
D G
We take care of our own
D G
We take care of our own
D G
We take care of our own
D G
Wherever this flag's flown
D G
We take care of our own
