[Intro]
Am F C G Am F C G
[Verse 1]
Am F
It's the guts and it's the glory, A hundred stripes a hundred stories,
C G
It's the pledge of allegiance on the fourth of July,
Am F
It's them hand written letters from home, It's the sleepless nights alone,
C G
It's his new born baby he left with his wife.
[Chorus 1]
Am F C G
Mr. Red White and Blue, Lay down his li - fe,
Am F C G Am F
Mr. Red White and Blue, For these stars and stri - pes, Hey.
[Verse 2]
Am F
From the fields of Indiana, From the swamps of Louisiana,
C G
To the golden coast of Californ,
Am F
Uncle Sam's the only family he's got, His purple heart beat won't stop,
C G
And his eighteenth birthday, Was the day he was born.
[Chorus 2]
Am F C G
Mr. Red White and Blue, Lay down his li - fe,
Am F C G
Mr. Red White and Blue, For these stars and stri - pes,
Am F C G
Mr. Red White and Blue, Stand on the front li - ne,
Am F C G
Mr. Red White and Blue, Pay the ultimate pri – ce,
[Interlude]
Am F C G Am F C G
Ohhh.
[Verse 3]
Am F
He was the man of the house where he was born, His family is proud but torn.
C G
But if you knew him you would understand,
Am F
He was raised on how to be brave, Just to see the flag still wave,
C G
And then he came home with only one hand,
[Chorus 3]
Am F C G
He's Mr. Red White and Blue, Lay down his li - fe,
Am F C G
Mr. Red White and Blue, For these stars and stri - pes,
Am F C G
Mr. Red White and Blue, Stand on the front li - ne,
Am F C G
Mr. Red White and Blue, Pay the ultimate pri – ce,
Am F C G
Mr. Red White and Blue, Lay down his li - fe,
Am F C G
Mr. Red White and Blue, For these stars and stri - pes,
[Outro]
Am F C G Am F C G
March in line, March in line. Hey. Hey.
