American Soul Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]All[F][C][F][G][C]
[F]the old men at [C]the diner
Tellin' [F]tales too tall to [C]tell
They're all [F]braggin' about
[C]the good ol' days
And how this [G]country has gone to hell
But as for [F]me, [C]I believe
We got [G]a heartland full
[Am]of hope
We're comin' [F]back around
'Cause you can't hold down
the American Soul

[Verse 2]
It's the [F]joy of Grandma [C]laughin'
And [F]Grandpa's funny [C]jokes
It's the [F]rumble of those
ol' base[C]ball cards
[G]Flappin' between the spokes
It's a [F]Fourth of July [C]picnic
It's farm- [G]made and rock [Am]and roll
From [F]town to town
You can hear the sound
of the American soul
Oh, say [G]can you

[Verse 3]
[Am]see
Flag that you [F]wave
Freedom ain't [C]free
In the home of the [G]brave
It's the root[Am]s and the boots
From the hard hat to the steel [F]toe
It's [C]the hustle and bustle
Blood, sweat, and tears that build
[G]the backbone
Of the American Soul
[F][C][F][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
It's the [F]words of "Amazing
[C]Grace"
[F]And it's "Born in [C]the U.S.A."
It's those [F]Yankees in [C]the playoffs
Those [G]Cowboys on a Sunday
It's a [F]red, white, and blue
[C]It's the yel[G]low, brown, and[Am] black
It's [F]those rotten ol' Republicans
And those darned ol' Democrats
Say [G]can you

[Verse 5]
[Am]see
The flag that you [F]wave
Freedom ain't [C]free
In the home of the [G]brave
It's the root[Am]s and the boots
From the hard hat to [F]the steel toe
It's [C]the hustle and bustle
Blood, sweat, and tears
that build the back[G]bone
Of the American [Am]Soul[G][Am][F]
Of the American Soul
[C]

[Verse 6]
[G]
Oh, say can [Am]you see
Flag that [F]you wave
Freedom ain't [C]free
In the home of the [G]brave
It's the root[Am]s and the boots
From the hard hat to
[F]the steel toe
[C]It's the hustle and bustle
Blood, sweat,
and tears that build the back[G]bone
Of the American [F]Soul[C]
[F][C][G][C]

[Verse 7]
[F]All we need is a little [C]love
To knock [F]off a little [C]rust
Take [F]time to shine that [C]penny[G]
So we can read [C]"In God We Trust"
