[Verse 1]
D
If tomorrow all the things were gone
G
I'd worked for all my life,
C
And I had to start again
Em A
With just my family by my side
D
I'd thank my lucky stars
Em Bm
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
G D
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
G A D
God bless the USA

From the lakes of Minnesota

To the hills of Tennessee

Across the plains of Texas

From sea to shining sea

From Detroit down to Houston
Em Bm
And New York to A
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

And I won't forget the men who died

Who gave that right to me
