American pride, 
F             Bb          
Something you feel inside. 
              Gm 
Something you can't describe,

American pride.

Dad said "Son, I'm proud you won,  
        C7                    F 
But the game is more than any toy." 
                         Bb 
Momma said "Now son, say sir and say ma'am, 
       C7                      F 
And be proud you're a southern boy. 
 
You play when you're hurtin', 
        Bb 
And you work when you're tired, 
C7                        F 
'Cause that was Grandpa's way. 
                     F7        Bb 
And the biscuits are better at Granny's house, 
        C7                     F       C 
And the gravy tastes great all day." 
 
 
         F      Eb 
American pride, 
F             Bb 
Something you feel inside. 
              Gm 
Something you can't describe, 
              C 
Something you cannot hide. 
         F      Eb 
American pride, 
F             Bb 
Something you feel inside. 
               Gm 
Traditions run deep and wide, 
C             F       Eb  Bb  F  Eb 
With American pride. 
 
 
       F                Bb 
When a baby is born, we all celebrate, 
     C7              F 
With tears of joy in family eyes. 
                        Bb 
'Cause we all know, the baby will grow, 
C7               F 
Up with American pride. 
 
Yeah, we work and we play, 
       Bb 
And we have our own ways, 
    C7                 F 
And we don't all look alike. 
                          F/A 
But if the cause is right, 
   Bb 
We stand up and fight, 
      C                 F       C 
To protect our American pride. 
 
 
         F       Eb 
American pride, 
F             Bb 
Something you feel inside. 
              Gm 
Something you can't describe, 
              C             
Something you cannot hide. 
         F       Eb 
American pride, 
F             Bb 
Something you feel inside. 
               Gm 
Traditions run deep and wide, 
C             F      Eb   
With American pride. 
      Bb      F      Eb 
With American pride. 
              F 
Yes, American pride.
