[Verse 1] [D]America[G]n boy, you're the pride and joy of America. You're the hope of half the [C]world. Americ[Em]an boy, [Bm]you're the flaming sword of [Em]America. When her [D]battle flag un[G]furled, in the cradle of liberty, This is how you [Eb]came to [C]be.[G] [C]They took a bit of [G]the wit of the Irish [C]and put [F]it on the tip of your tongue. [C]They put the lov[G]e of the letter on mus[C]ic and [F]they [D]poured it into your heart to be sun[G]g. They [C]made the song, Thankful [F]Santa, so you could wave it. And [D]when the world's in trouble, you could help to [G]save it. With [C]a bit [G]of a grin, of a [C]ridicule, they bless you [F]with a courage nothing [C]can destroy. And when [A]they want blue, they want [D]mighty proud of you. [F]Just a plain Americ[G]an boy. [C]They took a bit of the[G] wit of the Ir [C]ish, and put it on [F]the tip of your [C]tongue. They took the [F]love [G]of the Latin for mu[C]sic, and they poured [D]it in your heart to be [G]sung. They made the [C]song single planner, so [F]you could wave it. And when [D]the world's in trouble, you could have helped [G]to save it From the [C]souls of [G]the Poles and the Russians [C]They blessed you [F]with a courage nothing can [C]destroy And when they [A]were through We were mighty [D]proud [Cm]of you [D]Just a [F]plain Amer[G]ican [C]boy[F][C]
