C (intro fiddles with the high e and b string)
[Verse 1]
C                          C7
Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
  F                            C
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
C
I love mom and apple pie and the freedoms that we all enjoy
D7                    G
Across this beautiful land
C                                            C7
I worked hard and I'd fight hard for the old red, white and blue
        F                            G7
And Ill die a whole lot harder if it comes to where I have to
     C
Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
  D7           G7               C
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
[Chorus]
           F
And when I see old glory waving I think of all the brave men
         Bb                                    F
Who have fought and died for what is right and wrong
F
And when I see old glory burn', my blood begins to churn
    G7                            C
And I could do some fightin of my own
[Verse 2]
F
I dont believe in violence, Im a God fearing man
       Bb                              C
But Id stand up for my country just as long as I can stand
            F
'Cause Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
  G7           C              F
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
[Bridge]
G7 C
[Verse 3]
C
Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
  F                            C
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
C
And I enjoy the liberty of being what I want to be
    D7                    G7
And achieve as many goals as I can
      C
I was taught to turn the other cheek, but Teddy used to say
F                                   G
Talk soft and pack a big stick, but never walk away
      C
I'm a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
  D7           G7              C
A rough riding fighting Yankee man

And when I see old glory waving, I think of all the brave men

Who have fought and died for what is right and wrong
F
And when I see old glory burnin', my blood begins to churn
    G                             C
And I could do some fightin of my own
[Verse 4]
         F
'Cause I love all my brothers and we're proud of our birth
     Bb                               C
Weve got the greatest country here on Gods green earth
          F
And I'm a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
  G7           C7              F
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
