THERE'S A STAR SPANGLED BANNER WAVING SOMEWHERE
F Bb
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
C7 F
In a distant land so many miles away
Bb
Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there
C7 F
Where I wish that I could also live some day
C7 F
I'd see Lincoln, Custer, Washington and Perry,
C7 F
Nathan Hale and Colin Kelly, too
Bb
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
C7 F
Waving o'er the land of heroes brave and true.
Bb
In this war with it's mad schemes of distruction
C7 F
Of our country fair and our sweet liberty
Bb
By the mad dictators, leaders of corruption
C7 F
Can't the U.S. use a mountain boy like me ?
C7 F
God gave me the right to be a free American
C7 F
And for that precious right I'd gladly die
Bb
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
C7 F
That is where I want to live when I die
Bb
'Though I realize I'm crippled that is true, sir
C7 F
Please don't judge my courage by my twisted leg.
Bb
Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do, sir.
C7 F
Let me help to bring the Axis down a peg.
C7 F
If I do some great deed, I will be a hero
C7 F
And a hero brave is what I want to be.
Bb
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
C7 F
In that heaven there should be a place for me.
