Verse 1
G 
D 
G 
D 
G 
In this land of wealth and plenty
C 
there is one thing that I know
G 
You see smiling faces round you
A 
D 
wherever you may go
G 
We do right by our neighbor
C 
G 
and we love our neighbor's son
We're a God -fearing people.
D 
G 
Yes, we keep our faith in God.
It's that great American ego
D 
that always flies from shore to shore.
G 
It watches day and night
C 
G 
and it teaches wrong from right.
D 
G 
C 
It will watch o 'er our land forevermore.
G 
You know, there's one
C 
G 
D 
thing to be thankful for
G 
D 
in this troubled world today,
G 
D 
that we're privileged to live in
Ab 
D 
C 
the good old USA,
G 
D 
where freedom is a  byword
G 
D 
G 
on everybody's tongue.
D 
E 
D 
G 
It has been since the day
D 
G 
that the Liberty Bell first rung.
Her hope remains undying,
and conscience is afree.
D 
G 
And there's always a chance
D 
G 
D 
for little guys like you and me.
G 
When somebody says,
C 
you can't do this,
G 
three out of four will answer back,
D 
G 
I  can't, huh?
D 
G 
This is a free country, ain't it, Mack,
D 
where truth and faith and justice
G 
D 
have made the greatest
G 
D 
land on earth.
G 
We've never feared an enemy
C 
G 
and never lost a hope.
And on this road of destiny,
A 
D 
we know where we're heading for.
G 
We keep our faith in God
C 
G 
and we keep our powder dry
And for our God and country
D 
G 
each soul would gladly die
It's that great American ego
D 
That always flies from shore to shore
G 
Oh, it watches day and night,
C 
G 
and it teaches from right right
D 
It will watch your island forever more
G
