Song Of The Patriot Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[C]Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough riding [F]fighting Yankee [C]man
[C]I love mom and apple pie and the freedoms that we all enjoy
[Am]Across this [D]beautiful [G]land

[C]I worked hard and I fight hard for the old red, white and blue
And Ill [F]die a whole lot harder if it [G]comes to where I have to
Im a [C]flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A [D]rough riding [G]fighting Yankee [C]man

And when I [F]see old glory waving

I think of all the brave men
Who have [Bb]fought and died for what is right and [F]wrong

[F]And when I see old glory burn'
[F]My blood begins to churn
And [G]I could do some fightin of my [C]own

[F]I dont believe in violence, Im a God fearing man
But Id [Bb]stand up for my country just as [C]long as I can stand
'Cause Im a [F]flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A [G]rough riding [C]fighting Yankee [F]man

[C]Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A [F]rough riding fighting Yankee [C]man
[C]And I enjoy the liberty of being what I want to be
And [Am]achieve as many [D]goals as I [G]can

I was [C]taught to turn the other cheek, but daddy used to say
[F]Walk soft and pack a big stick, but [G]never walk away

Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A [G]rough riding [C]fighting Yankee [F]man

And when I [F]see old glory waving

I think of all the brave men
Who have [Bb]fought and died for what is right and [F]wrong

[F]And when I see old glory burn'
[F]My blood begins to churn
And [G]I could do some fightin of my [C]own

'Cause I [F]love all my brothers and we're proud of our birth
Weve [Bb]got the greatest country here on [G]Gods green [C]earth
And Im a [F]flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A [G]rough riding [C]fighting Yankee [F]man
