Take A Knee . . . My Ass                  
Neal McCoy
[Intro]
C       F       C      G      C
[Verse 1]
I plCedge allegiance to the flag,  Of the UFnited States,   Of ACmerica,G  
I'll stCand and place my hand upon Fmy heart,  Every time her anthem pClays,G  
And when I sFee somebody G7on TV,  TCake their stand on bAmended knee,
WhFether it's on AFstroTurf or gAmrass,Am7  
I tChink of those whose frCeedom was not fGree,   And I sGay, “Take a Cknee?    My Ass.”
[Chorus 1]
I'll stFand up for my flag,  Take off my hCat for Old Glory,
Thank GGod I live in the home of the brave,  And the lCand of the free,
I'll hFonor the ones who gave it all,  So wCe're all free to Amgo and play ball,
If oCnly for their sGake,   I won't take Ca knee.G  
[Verse 2]
From VCalley Forge to Vietnam,  9F/11 to Afghanistan,
TChat star spangled banner does yet Gwave,
I wCon't forget,  I owe a debt of gFratitude,  I never can repCay,G  
AFrm in arm and sG7ide by side,  AmCerican heroes fAmought and died,
Is sFhowing some respFect too much to aAmsk?Am7  
I spCeak for those whose fCreedom was not fGree,  And I sGay, “Take a kCnee?    My Ass.”
[Chorus 2]
I'll sFtand up for my flag,  Take off my Chat for Old Glory,
Thank GGod I live in the home of the brave,  And the lCand of the free,
I'll hFonor the ones who gave it all,  So wCe're all free to Amgo and play ball,
If oCnly for their sGake,   I won't take a kCnee.   Oh say can you sFee?
[Outro]
If oCnly for their sGake,   I won't take a kCnee.F  C

I pledge allegiance to the flag, Of the United States, Of America,

Is showing some respect too much to ask?
