Artist: Aaron Tippin
Title: Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Flies
Chords and Lyrics Transcribed by: Robert Williquette
Here is just the basic chords and lyrics for Aaron's great new single -
none of the fancy stuff is included here. Although, the intro stuff is
all built around D, using Dsus and a D with the High E string open (I
don't know what that chord is called!) For now, I just kinda fake
something around those three chords for fill - sounds ok to me.
INTRO: D - Dsus - D - D(+open E) - D
D
Well, if you ask me where I come from
D
Here's what I tell everyone
G
I was born by God's dear grace
D
In a extra - ordinary place
Em G D
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle flies.
D
It's a big ol' land with countless dreams
D
And happiness ain't out of reach.
G
Hard work pays off the way it should.
D
Ya, I've seen enough to know that we've got it good!
Em (F#)-G D
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle flies.
[CHORUS:]
C G D
There's a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe.
C G
And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to
A - - - - - - A/
be free - - - - -
D
I pledge allegiance to this flag
D
And if that bothers you, well that's too bad!
G
But if you got pride and you're proud you do -
D
Hey, we could use some more like me and you.
Em (F#)-G D
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle flies.
[SHORT INSTRUMENTAL: D (like intro) Em - - (F#)-G - - D
[REPEAT CHORUS add ''Yes'' to beginning]
D
No, it ain't the only place on earth
D
But it's the only place that I prefer
G
To love my wife and raise my kids
D
Hey, the same way that my daddy did.
Em (F#)-G D
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle flies.
Em (Em-F#)/ (F#)-G/ D
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle flies.
[repeat D chord fills like intro, while background vocals repeat
(stars and stripes) to fade.
