This is my firat chord layout. Hope it helps.
Here's the stumming pattern for the rest of the song.
Down, Down, Up, Up, Down, Up (repeat)
* = strum once
D* A*
American Girls and American Guys
Bm*
Will always stand up and salute
F#*
We'll always recognize
G*
When we see Old Glory Flying
D*
There's a lot of men dead
A (pluck each string)
So we can sleep in peace at night
A (strum chord)
When we lay down our head
D
My daddy served in the army
A
Where he lost his right eye
Bm
But he flew a flag out in our yard
F#
Until the day that he died
G D
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
A
To grow up and live happy
A
In the land of the free.
D
Now this nation that I love
A
Has fallen under attack
Bm
A mighty sucker punch came flying in
F#
From somewhere in the back
G
Soon as we could see clearly
D
Through our big black eye
A
Man, we lit up your world
A
Like the 4th of July
[Chorus]
G
Hey Uncle Sam
A
Put your name at the top of his list
D
And the Statue of Liberty
Bm
Started shaking her fist
G
And the eagle will fly
A
Man, it's gonna be hell
D
When you hear Mother Freedom
Bm
Start ringing her bell
G A Bm
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
G A
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
D*
Justice will be served
A*
And the battle will rage
Bm*
This big dog will fight
F#*
When you rattle his cage
G*
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
D A
The you. S. Of A.
A
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way
[Chorus]
G
Hey Uncle Sam
A
Put your name at the top of his list
D
And the Statue of Liberty
Bm
Started shaking her fist
G
And the eagle will fly
A
Man, it's gonna be hell
D
When you hear Mother Freedom
Bm
Start ringing her bell
G A Bm
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
G A
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
D A Bm
F#
Of the Red White and Blue
D A Bm
G D
Of the Red White and Blue
