I'm  (F major) proud to do my duty
C 
for the good old USA.  (C major)

G 
C 
G 
C 
 (G major) that's  (C major) what they're  (G major) tellin'  (C major) me

they both look good to  (C major) me

your bubble,

There's 4 ,000 Cubans
on the north side of the fence
F 
Just  (F major) waiting for a chance
C 
to put their training to the test  (C major) 
G 
C 
 (G major) Sometimes  (C major) I  wish they wouldn't,
I'd give that exam
F 
And  (F major) show them how we do it
when we fight for Uncle Sam
C 
Am

F 
 (C major) I  wonder  (A minor) if   the  (G major) people back  (F major) home
