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. 
 
 
        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

verse 2 
         D             
From the lakes of Minnesota 
       G  
To the hills of Tennessee 
 C 
Across the plains of Texas 
     Em             A 
From sea to shining sea 
     D                
From Detroit down to Houston 
Em     Bm 
    And New York to LA 
             Em              
Well there's pride in every American heart 
        Bm                       G 
And its time we stand and say 
 
  
         A 
That 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   Bm  G 
God bless the USA
