Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly Lyrics

INTRO: D - Dsus - D - D(+open E) - D
Well, if you ask me where I come from
Here's what I tell everyone
I was born by God's dear grace
In a extra - ordinary place
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle flies.
It's a big ol' land with countless dreams
And happiness ain't out of reach.
Hard work pays off the way it should.
Ya, I've seen enough to know that we've got it good!
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle flies.
There's a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe.
And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to
be free - - - - -
I pledge allegiance to this flag
And if that bothers you, well that's too bad!
But if you got pride and you're proud you do -
Hey, we could use some more like me and you.
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle flies.
{SHORT INSTRUMENTAL: D (like intro) Em - - (F#)-G - - D
No, it ain't the only place on earth
But it's the only place that I prefer
To love my wife and raise my kids
Hey, the same way that my daddy did.
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle flies.
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle flies.
{repeat D chord fills like intro, while background vocals repeat
(stars and stripes) to fade.
