U.S. Blues
A Thing (x2)
[Verse 1]
A
Red and white, blue suede shoes
A7
I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
D
Gimme five, I'm still alive
E B E B E
Ain't no luck, I learned to duck
A
Check my pulse, it don't change
A7
Stay seventy-two come shine or rain
D
Wave the flag, pop the bag
E B E E B E
Rock the boat, skin the goat
[Chorus]
E B
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
E B
Summertime done, come and gone, my oh my
[Verse 2]
A
I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am
A7
Been hidin' out in a rock and roll band
D
Shake the hand that shook the hand
EB E E B E
Of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan
A
Shine your shoes, light your fuse
A7
Can you use them ol' U.S. Blues?
D
I'll drink your health, share your wealth
EB E E B E
Run your life, steal your wife
[Chorus]
E B
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
E B
Summertime done, come and gone, my oh my
*Solo* (verse)
A
Back to back, chicken shack
A7
Son of a gun, better change your act
D
We're all confused, what's to lose?
E B E E B E
You can call this song the United States Blues
[Chorus]
E B
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
E B
Summertime done, come and gone, my oh my
my my, my my, my oh my, oh my
E B
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
E B E7
Summertime done, come and gone, my oh my
