[Intro]
D    A      G      D    A      G
 
[Verse 1]
   D
If tomorrow all the things were gone
    G
I'd worked for all my life,
      Em
And I had to start again
             C              A
With just my family and my wife
D
  I'd thank my lucky stars
Em    F#m
to be livin' here today.
          Em
Cause the flag still stands for freedom
         Bm                      G
And they can't take that away.
 
[Chorus]
        A
And I'm proud to be an American
         G                D
Where at least I know I'm free
      A
And I won't forget the men who died
    G                  D
Who gave that right to me
             Bm       D                 G                D
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
            Em                D
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
    G         A D
God bless the USA
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
         D
From the lakes of Minnesota
       G
To the hills of Tennessee
 Em
Across the plains of Texas
     C             A
From sea to shining sea
     D
From Detroit down to Phoenix
        F#m
    And New York to LA
             Em
Well there's pride in every American heart
        Bm                       G
And its time we stand and say
 
[Chorus]
         A
That I'm proud to be an American
         G                D
Where at least I know I'm free
      A
And I won't forget the men who died
    G                  D
Who gave that right to me
             Bm       D                 G              D
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
            Em                D
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
    G         A   Bm  G
God bless the USA
(x2)
 
[Outro]
        A
And I'm proud to be an American
         G                D
Where at least I know I'm free
      A
And I won't forget the men who died
    G                  D
Who gave that right to me
             Bm       D                 G                D
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
            Em                D
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
    Em     D     G A D
God bless the    U S A
