I Am A Patriot Chords & Lyrics - Eddie Vedder

An[D]d the rivers shall[G] open for the righteous (repeat)
An[D]d the rivers shall[G] open for the righteous, [A]someday [G]
I went w[D]alking[G] , with my [D]brother [G]
And he w[D]ondere[G]d, oh, how I[A] am [G]
Said what [D]I believe with my[G] soul
Ain't what[D] I see with my ey[G]es
And there'[D]s no turning [G]back this [A]time[G]
I am a p[D]atrio[G]t, and I love my [D]country [G]
Because my [D]country[G] is all I[A] know [G]
I wanna be with my [D]family [G]
People who understa[D]nd me [G]
[D] [G] [A] [G] [D] ([G]) <---Not 100% on this G it just
I got no place else to go...I am a patriot... seems right.
I went [D]walkin[G]g, with my [D]girlfriend[G]
She looked so [D]fine, I said [G]baby what's on your [A]min[G]d
She said I wanna run like the [D]lions [G]
Released from their [D]cages [G]
[D] [G] [A] [G] [D] ([G])
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...I am a patriot...
[D] [G] <--------|
And I ain't no communist, |
[D] [G] |
and I ain't no socialist |
[D] [G] | Hit each chord once
And I ain't no capitalist, |
[D] [G] | and let ring
and I ain't no imperialist |
[D] [G] |
And I ain't no democrat, |
[D] [G] |
I sure ain't no republican either |
[D] [G] |
I only know one party, |
[D] [G] |
and that is freedom, |
[D] [G] [A] |
I am, I am, I am <--------|

I am a p[D]atrio[G]t, and I love my [D]country [G]
Because my [D]country[G] is all I[A] know [G]

An[D]d the rivers shall[G] open for the righteous (repeat)
An[D]d the rivers shall[G] open for the righteous, [A]someday [G]
[D]Someday, some[G]day, some[A]day...
