Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly

[D]Well, if you ask me where I come from
[D]Here's what I tell everyone
[G]I was born by God's dear grace
In a e[D]xtra - ordinary place
Where the S[Em]tars and Stripes  [G] and the Eagle fli[D]es.

[D]It's a big ol' land with countless dreams
[D]And happiness ain't out of reach.
Hard w[G]ork pays off the way it should.
Ya, I've seen e[D]nough to know that we've got it good!
           [Em]              ( [F#] )-[G]                [D]
Where the Stars and Stripes      and the Eagle flies.
There's a l[C]ady that stands in a h[G]arbor for what we beli[D]eve.
And there's a b[C]ell that still echoes the pr[G]ice that it cost to

I ple[D]dge allegiance to this flag
And [D]if that bothers you, well that's too bad!
But if y[G]ou got pride and you're proud you do -
Hey, we could u[D]se some more like me and you.
           [Em]              ( [F#] )-[G]                [D]
Where the Stars and Stripes      and the Eagle flies.

(SHORT INSTRUMENTAL)

No, it [D]ain't the only place on earth
But [D]it's the only place that I prefer
To l[G]ove my wife and raise my kids
Hey, the s[D]ame way that my daddy did.
Where the S[Em]tars and Stripes [F#]    [G] and the Eagle fl[D]ies.
Where the S[Em]tars and Stripes [Em]     [F#]     [G]     and the Eagl[D]e flies.
