VERSE:
G                               C
After school one day a boy sat talking with his dad
             D
He said the teacher pulled out a book
           C
Taught us all about the flag
 
           G
About the red, white, and blue
              C
And how each color was defined
            D
And why we stand hand over heart
          C
Pledge allegiance every time
 
    Am                                  C
His dad pulled out a box with a folded flag
          Am                                  C   D
And said trust me son it means way more than that
 
 
CHORUS:
                  G                  C
It's more than a flag, or stars and stripes
          D
Yeah, it waves for the ones who died
                G
And gave their lives,
           C            D
So you and I could live on
 
               Em
It stands for truth,
               B
It stands for grace
                   C
It's colors don't run and to this day
            D
It carries sacrifice and scars
           C
And every stripe and star it has
 G         Am
You might know the definition
         C
But the truth is
      D           G   C D  G  C D
It's more than a flag
 
 
VERSE:
 G                                       C
You said that your grandad fought in Vietnam back in '65
               D
Three hundred fifty second dropping bombs
               C
To lessen the threats he had to fight
 
          G                         C
Got sent home in '71 with one less leg and a Purple Heart
               D
He used to say I gave some and some gave all
            C
And that's what we're fighting for
 
           Am                              C
They gave your grandma this box on the day he passed
       Am                              C        D
Fired twenty one shots, and folded up that flag
 
 
CHORUS:
                  G                  C
It's more than a flag, or stars and stripes
          D
Yeah, it waves for the ones who died
                G
And gave their lives,
           C            D
So you and I could live on
 
               Em
It stands for truth,
               B
It stands for grace
                   C
It's colors don't run and to this day
            D
It carries sacrifice and scars
           C
And every stripe and star it has
 G         Am
You might know the definition
         C
But the truth is
      D           Em   C  Em  C D
It's more than a flag
 
 
BREAK:
 D                  Em
It's there when we fight
                    D
It's there when we fought
            C
On foreign shores and right at home
 
 G       Am7
Yeah you know it's true
             C                     D
It's why we bleed red, white, and blue
 
 
CHORUS:
                  G                  C
It's more than a flag, or stars and stripes

                G
And gave their lives,
           C            D

               Em
It stands for truth,

                         C
Ther's nobody more American

Ask what you can do for your country
