A                           D       A 
I got Ol' Glory hanging out in my garage 
                                        E 
And one on the chrome post flying in my yard 
        D                           A 
I got a patch on my jacket - says 101st 
                                E               A 
And a sticker on my bumper says don't mess with her 

                   D 
These colors don't run 
                      A 
I hold ?em dear to my heart 
               Bm 
With all of my might 
               D 
I stand up and fight 
                         E 
For every star and every stripe 
                  D                            E 
Yeah, I'm a proud supporter of the men and the women 
    A                        D 
Who risk their lives for our cause 
               A 
Let me tell ya son 
                   E 
We're still number one, 
          D            A 
And these colors don't run 

A                                          D            A 
I pledge allegiance to this nation and the eagle flyin' high 
                                                      E 
I'm the first to shoot off fireworks on the Fourth of July 
    D                                        A 
And God bless the people who love this great land 
                              E         A 
Ah, when it comes to freedom, UNITED WE STAND!

With all of my might 
               D 
I stand up and fight 
                         E 
For every star and every stripe 
                  D                            E 
Yeah, I'm a proud supporter of the men and the women
