[VERSE 1]
[G]He came up to the flagpole to [D]raise her one more time
His wri[Em7]nkled hands looked tired and worn bu[C7]t they worked just fine
[G]He readied Old Glory to f[D]ly over head
R[Em7]aised her up, gave a salute, and [C]this is what he said
[CHORUS 1]
I fought for y[G]ou so soar through the [D]sky
On distant [Em7]beaches over there I [C7]saw some buddies die[D]
I came back with [G]scars some will n[D]ever know
It’s the [Em7]price we pay when we [C7]choose to go
This [Em7]land that I love and my [D]family
I fou[C7]ght for you so [D]we could be [G]free
[VERSE 2]
[G]Kids sitting in a classroom parents [D]sharing what they do
Little [Em7]Suzie held her daddy’s hand [C7]she was nervous too
A [G]voice says, "He has no legs” [D]murmurs all around
Suzie’s [Em7]daddy stood up tall and [C]with a voice that's proud he said...
[CHORUS 2]
I fought for [G]you so you could live in [D]peace
I gave [Em7]all had and more and [C7]it took all of [D]me
And I’d [G]gladly do it [D]all again
Just to [Em7]guard you my [C7]little friend
This [Em7]land that I love and my [D]family
I f[C7]ought for you so [D]you could be [G]free
[BRIDGE]
[C]We have all made a promise it’s a [D]solemn [G]vow
To [C]defend our country’s borders when the w[D]olves begin to [G]howl
We’re the [C]sheepdog we’re the watcher standing g[D]uard day and [G]night
When they s[C]how up to do you harm we w[D]ill bring the fight
[CHORUS 3]
We’ll fight for [G]you so you can sleep [D]tonight
Don’t you [Em7]worry your precious head [C7]we will be [D]alright
We’re [G]prepared for this and it’s [D]what we do
We’ll [Em7]keep danger a[C7]way from you
This [Em7]land that we love and our [D]families
We [C7]fight for you so [D]we can be [G]free
[VERSE 3]
She was [G]sitting in her back yard [D]playing with her son
It had [Em7]been awhile since she’d seen him smile and [C]have this much fun
But [G]when he asked her "Mommy, why [D]were you gone so long?”
With a [Em7]tug in her chest she praised her little man for [C]being so strong
[CHORUS 4]
I fought for [G]you so you wouldn’t have to [D]fight
I traveled [Em7]all around the world [C7]carrying freedom’s [D]light
To [G]protect the weary, [D]weak, and the poor
When [Em7]evil threatens [C7]at their door
This [Em7]land that I love and my [D]family
I f[C7]ought for you so [D]you could be [G]free
[CHORUS 3]
We’ll fight for [G]you so you can sleep [D]tonight
Don’t you [Em7]worry your precious head [C7]we will be [D]alright
We’re [G]prepared for this and it’s [D]what we do
We’ll [Em7]keep danger a[C7]way from you
This [Em7]land that we love and our [D]families
We [C7]fight for you so [D]we can be [G]free
