[Intro]
G C G C G C G Em C G D
[Verse]
Em C G D
The furnace burns in steel town
Em C G D
Big business came and tried to shut em down
Em C G D
Workers got together and they bought that mill
C D
They're making steel in Pittsburgh still
Em C G D
The family farm down in Indiana
Em C G D
The bank's foreclosin' just because they can
Em C G D
The farmer can't do nothin' 'bout another drought
C D
But John, Waylon & Willie came and helped 'em out
[Chorus]
Em C G D
These are the days of America
Em C G D
Brother to brother, hand in hand
Em C G D
These are the days of America
C D
Walking together in the promise land
[Verse]
Em C G D
The wheels in Detroit keep on turnin'
Em C G D
A blue collar lesson there for the learnin'
Em C G D
The throttle drives you anywhere no matter how far
C D
Just never give up on who you are
[Chorus]
(lead)
Em C G D
Right down the middle of America
Em C G D
Where her heart beats strong and true
Em C G D
Look up and just open your eyes
C D
The flag still waves and the eagle still flies.
[Chorus]
Em C G D
These are the days
Em C G D
These are the days of America
Em C G D
These are the days
Em C G
These are the days of America
