If tomorrow all the things were gone

I'd worked for all my life,

I'd thank my lucky stars

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

Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
G A D
God bless the USA
