I Stand For The Flag

C Am F C G C I saw her flyin' there, by the dawns early light, Am F A little tired, a little tore up, Still hurtin' from the fight, C Am Then it hit me, You ain't got to pick a side, F G You can love your fellow man, and still have pride, Dm Am 'Cause we're all stitched together, like the red white and blue, F G Might be a little bit different, But we're all the same too, C 'Cause the stars and stripes are so much more, G Than that old piece of cloth on your Grandma's porch, Dm F It gave us that American dream, to be anything that we wanna be, C G It don't matter where you are, from a one room church to an uptown bar, Dm F Don't care if you're black or white, or who you love, Dm F G C Am I stand for the flag, and the flag, Stands for all of us. C For the teachers of today, Or the leaders of tomorrow, Am F For long haul drivin' truckers, Going all night haulin' cargo, C Am The banker pays the farmer, who feeds the factory workin' man, F G While the preacher talks to Jesus, About his Son in Afghanistan, Dm Am We all need each other, Like an apple needs a pie, F G That's just another day, In this American life, C 'Cause the stars and stripes are so much more, G Than that old piece of cloth on your Grandma's porch, Dm F It gave us that American dream, to be anything that we wanna be, C G 'Cause it don't matter where you are, from a one room church to an uptown bar, Dm F Don't care if you're black or white, or who you love, Dm F G C Am F G I stand for the flag, and the flag, Stands for all of us. Am F I stand for showing kindness, C Treating everyone with love, Am F Be proud of who you are, G Don't forget were you came . . from . . . . C 'Cause the stars and stripes mean much more, G Than that old piece of cloth on your Grandma's porch, Dm F It gave us that American dream, to be anything that we wanna be, C G And it don't matter where you are, from a one room church to an uptown bar, Dm F Don't care if you're black or white, or who you love, Dm F G C I stand for the flag, and the flag darn sure stands for all of us.
