Intro 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (Dsus4)
It's (G major)
Verse 1
not CBS or NBC, (C major)
(G major) AB C or CNN,
that's given us the freedom
of (D major) the (Gsus4) press.
Not (G major) Jerry Falwell, or Larry Flint,
(A minor) Ted Kennedy,
or Jesse Jackson.
(G major) Giving us the freedom to (C major) verbally express.
(G major) Not (B flat major) the campus organizer
and (C major) all the demonstrations.
Giving (B flat major) us the freedom to (C major) march,
freely march, and disagree.
(Asus4) (D major) (Asus4) Oh, can't you see? (A major)
(Asus4) It has (D major) always been
(Asus4) (D major) the soldier
who has (G major) made (E minor) the (A major) sacrifice. (D major)
(Asus4) Stand (A major) ing (D major) strong and proud (Asus4) in (D major) battle,
(A major) Will (B minor) ing (Asus4) to lay (A major) down (Dsus4) his life.
(G major) And somewhere there's a soldier, (C major)
And he's looking at a
picture of his little (G major) girl,
How he wishes (C major) he was home. (D major)
(G major) And somewhere there's
another soldier,
(A minor) he's reading a love letter from his wife, (G major)
and she's telling him that she feels
(C major) so desperately alone. (G major)
(B flat major) Somewhere there's a mom and dad
(C major) who cry late in the night
for (B flat major) a son who won't be coming home.
(C major) A son who gave (B flat major) his life.
(C major) Freedom (D major) isn't free.
Oh, can't (Asus4) you see? (A major) (G major) (Asus4) (G major)
(A major) Well, (D major) it has always,
(Asus4) al ways (D major) been the soldier
Who's (E minor) made the (A major) sacrifice (D major)
(Asus4) Standing (A major) strong (D major) and
proud (Asus4) (D major) in battle
Will (A major) (B minor) ing (A major) to (Asus4) lay (A major) down his (Dsus4) life (D major)
To (A major) the angry man who shakes his fist
Burns (G major) the stars (D major) in strife
That's (A major) the same flag that
drapes the coffin
(B minor) Those (A major) (B minor) who gave their lives
There's (G major) no other place that you (A major) can go
Or that (F sharp major) you have ever been (B minor)
Where the (C major) blood of soldiers
gives the right to burn that flag
again (A major) (Asus4) (B flatsus4)
It (B flat major) has (E flat major) always been the (B flatsus4) (E flat major) soldier
who has (B flat major) made (B flatsus4) (B flat major)
(B flatsus4) (B flat major) the sacrifice (E flat major)
(A flat major) Stand (B flat major) (A flat major) ing (B flat major) strong (E flat major) an
d (B flat major) proud (B flatsus4) in battle, (E flat major) (B flat major)
Will (C minor) ing to (B flatsus4) (E flat minor) lay (B flatsus4)
(B flat major) down his (E flat major) life, (F minor)
(A flat major) It (E flat major) has (A flat major) always been the (E flat major) soldier
On the land, (A flat major) (B flatsus4) in the air (B flat major) and sea. (E flat major)
It has (A flat major) always been (B flatsus4) the soldier (E flat major)
fighting for (B flatsus4) our (B flat major) (B flatsus4) liberty,
(E flat major) fighting for (A flat major) our (E flat major) liberty.
It has al (F minor) ways, (A flat major) always been,
it has always (G major) been the men,
(E flat major) the women (G major) of our armed (Gaug) forces, (B major)
who have paid (G sharp minor) the (B major) price. (E major)
(D sharp major) The soldiers. you
