Where The Stars And Stripes

• D

Chords and Lyrics Transcribed by: Robert Williquette 
 
Here is just the basic chords and lyrics for Aaron's great new single - 
none of the fancy stuff is included here. Although, the intro stuff is 
all built around D, using Dsus and a D with the High E string open (I 
don't know what that chord is called!) For now, I just kinda fake 
something around those three chords for fill - sounds ok to me.  
 
 
INTRO: D - Dsus - D - D(+open E) - D 
 
D 
Well, if you ask me where I come from 
D 
Here's what I tell everyone 
G 
I was born by God's dear grace 
      D 
In a extra - ordinary place 
           Em                G                 D 
Where the Stars and Stripes   and the Eagle flies. 
 
 
D 
It's a big ol' land with countless dreams 
D 
And happiness ain't out of reach. 
      G 
Hard work pays off the way it should. 
               D 
Ya, I've seen enough to know that we've got it good! 
           Em              (F#)-G                D 
Where the Stars and Stripes      and the Eagle flies. 
 
           C                     G                     D 
There's a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe. 
               C                           G 
And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to 
          A - - - - - - A/
      be free - - - - - 
 
     D 
I pledge allegiance to this flag 
    D 
And if that bothers you, well that's too bad! 
        G 
But if you got pride and you're proud you do -  
               D 
Hey, we could use some more like me and you. 
           Em              (F#)-G                D 
Where the Stars and Stripes      and the Eagle flies. 
 
 
{SHORT INSTRUMENTAL:  D (like intro)    Em - - (F#)-G - - D 
 
{REPEAT CHORUS add ''Yes'' to beginning} 
 
       D 
No, it ain't the only place on earth 
    D 
But it's the only place that I prefer 
    G 
To love my wife and raise my kids 
          D 
Hey, the same way that my daddy did. 
           Em              (F#)-G                D 
Where the Stars and Stripes      and the Eagle flies. 
 
           Em              (Em-F#)/ (F#)-G/                D 
Where the Stars and Stripes                and the Eagle flies. 
 
 
{repeat D chord fills like intro, while background vocals repeat 
(stars and stripes) to fade.
