 key:
 Strum Slowly
 American  girls, and American  guys,
 Will  always stand up and salute, will always reqignize.
 When  we see ol' glory flyin', there's  alota men dead.
 So we could sleep  in peace at night when we lay down our head.
 (Distortion)
 My daddy  served in the army, where  he lost his right eye,
 But he flew  a flag out in our yard till the  day that he died.
 He wanted  my mother, my brother, my sister  and me,
 To  grow up and live happy on the land of the free.
 Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack,
 A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in from somewhere in the back.
 Soon as we could see clearly, through our big black eye.
 Man we lit up your world like the 4th of July.
 Hey Uncle  Sam, put your name at the top  of his list
 And the statue  of liberty started shakin'  her fist
 And the  eagle will fly, there's  gonna be hell
 When you hear  mother freedom start ringin'  her bell
 And  it seems like the whole wide world  is rainin' down on you.
 Brought  to you courtesy,  of the red, white and blue.
 (I'm not sure on the lead yet.)
 Justice  will be seved and the battle  will rage
 This big  dog will fight when you rattle  his cage
 You'll  be sorry that you messed with, the  u..s....of a..a...a..a
 Cause we'll put a boot  in your ass, it's the American way.
