[Verse 1]
A              A
Red and white, blue suede shoes

I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?

Give me five, I'm still alive
D                E               B E E B E
Ain't no luck, I learned to duck
A               A
Check my pulse, it don't change
A                     A
Stay seventy-two come shine or rain

Wave the flag, pop the bag

Rock the boat, skin the goat
[Chorus]
B                                E
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
B                                       E
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my

Been hiding out in a rock and roll band

Shake the hand that shook the hand of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan
A                 A
Shine your shoes, light your fuse
A                    A
Can you use them old U.S. Blues?
     D                  D
I'll drink your health, share your wealth
D              E               B E E B E
Run your life, steal your wife
[Chorus]
B                                E
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
B                                       E
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my

Son of a gun, better change your act

We're all confused, what's to lose?
