Capo 4
Intro:
A Dsus2 D x3
Verse 1:
A Dsus2 Bm Am
IF YOU SEE ME HOLD MY HAND OVER MY HEART BEFORE I START THE PLEDGE OF
A
ALLEGIANCE
Dsus2 Bm Am
THERE'S A REASON, IT'S TO HONOR THOSE WHO DIED
A Dsus2 Bm Am
AND IF YOU SEE ME CLOSE MY EYES AND BOW MY HEAD BEFORE I BREAK BREAD WITH MY
A
FAMILY
Dsus2 Bm Am
IT AIN'T A HABIT, IT'S IMPORTANT AND IT'S MY RIGHT
A Dsus2 Bm Am
I WORK HALF A YEAR FOR ME THE OTHER HALF FOR UNCLE SAM
A Dsus2 Bm Am
WHILE HE'S BAILING OUT THOSE SINKING SHIPS AND DROWNING THE LITTLE MAN
Chorus:
Dsus2 A Bm A
I WATCH THE NEWS AND HAVE TO WONDER IF THIS COUNTRY'S GOING CRAZY
Dsus2 A Bm Am
TALKIN' BOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVE IT HERE BUT HOW THEY WANNA REARRANGE IT
Dsus2 A Bm A
I'M JUST YOUR AVERAGE JOE AND THAT MAKES ME SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW
Dsus2 A Bm Am
THERE'S A BUNCH OF US OUT HERE THAT FEEL THE SAME
G G Dsus2 D
GONNA KEEP OUR GOD, OUR FREEDOM, A LITTLE MONEY IN THE BANK
A Dsus2 D
Y'ALL CAN KEEP THE CHANGE
Verse 2: Same as verse 1 (A Dsus2 Bm Am)
NOW THE FAT CATS ON THE HILL ACTING SO BRILLIANT
AIN'T SMART ENOUGH TO NOTICE THAT WE'RE ANGRY
AND AMERICA'S IN TROUBLE
IF THEY DON'T WISE UP AND STOP
BUSTING OUT THE BLOCKS THAT WERE LAID AS A FOUNDATION
THIS NATION COULD WAKE UP IN A PILE OF RUBBLE
THEY SAY WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS BUT IT'S A BIG 'OL SHAME TO ME
THAT COMMON SENSE AIN'T NEAR AS COMMON AS IT USED TO BE
Chorus:
Dsus2 A Bm A
I WATCH THE NEWS AND HAVE TO WONDER IF THIS COUNTRY'S GOING CRAZY
Dsus2 A Bm Am
TALKIN' BOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVE IT HERE BUT HOW THEY WANNA REARRANGE IT
Dsus2 A Bm A
I'M JUST YOUR AVERAGE JOE AND THAT MAKES ME SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW
Dsus2 A Bm Am
THERE'S A BUNCH OF US OUT HERE THAT FEEL THE SAME
G G Dsus2 D
GONNA KEEP OUR GOD, OUR FREEDOM, A LITTLE MONEY IN THE BANK
A Dsus2 D
Y'ALL CAN KEEP THE CHANGE
Solo:
A Bm Dsus2 Am x2
Bridge:
Bm
I'LL BET OUR GRANDPAS ARE GETTING DIZZY
A
DOWN THERE IN THEIR GRAVES
Dsus2
ROLLING OVER AND OVER, OVER WHAT'S GOING ON THESE DAYS
Chorus:
Dsus2 A Bm A
I WATCH THE NEWS AND HAVE TO WONDER IF THIS COUNTRY'S GOING CRAZY
Dsus2 A Bm Am
TALKIN' BOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVE IT HERE BUT HOW THEY WANNA REARRANGE IT
Dsus2 A Bm A
I'M JUST YOUR AVERAGE JOE AND THAT MAKES ME SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW
Dsus2 A Bm Am
THERE'S A BUNCH OF US OUT HERE THAT FEEL THE SAME
G G Dsus2 D
GONNA KEEP OUR GOD, OUR FREEDOM, A LITTLE MONEY IN THE BANK
A Dsus2 D
Y'ALL CAN KEEP THE CHANGE
