Luke Stricklin: American by God's Amazing Grace

I heard this recently on the radio. I do not remember hearing in 2005 or later.
I thought some of you may appreciate it.

Verse 1:
D                  C
Bottom of my boots sure are gettin' worn
G                                D
   there's a lot of holes in this faded uniform 
D                                C
My hands are black with dirt and so is my face  	 
G                                              D
   I aint never been to hell but it couldn't be any worse than this place. 
D                               C
Tell my wife don't worry 'cause I know what to do 
G                                           D
   it makes her feel better sometimes, but I don't know if it's true. 
D                    C
I know if I die it's just my time to go  
G                                   D
    but I pray to God every day that I make it back home. 

CHORUS:
Am                                C
Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad G D quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have Am C G 'Cause I could be raising my family in this place but I was born an American G (strum 1x) D by Gods Amazing Grace. Verse 2: D C For the last twelve months I've had a new address G the neighborhood smells like sewage D and the streets are lined with trash. D C You never know what's gonna be the next thing to explode G D but unlike these people, I have another home. D C It breaks my heart to see these kids out on the streets G D walking barefoot through the trash, beggin' for something to eat. D C I give them what I got, just to let them know I care G D and I thank God it's not my son that's standing there. CHORUS: Am C Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad G D quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have Am C G 'Cause I could be raising my family in this place but I was born an American G (strum 1x) D by Gods Amazing Grace. (Bridge is: D C G D 2X as strummed in the verses.) Verse 3: D C You want to talk about it, you better keep it short cause G D I got a lot of lost time I gotta make up for. D C Really don't care why Bush went in to Iraq G D I know what I've done there and I'm damn sure proud of that. D C You got somethin' bad to say about the USA G D you better save it for different ears 'less you want to crawl away. D C And I'll laugh in your face when you say you've got it bad G D and tell you to spend some time on the streets of Baghdad CHORUS: Am C Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad G D quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have Am C G 'Cause you could be raising your family in this place but you were born an American G (strum 1x) D by Gods Amazing Grace. OUTRO: Finish the C G strum pattern and figure out the walk down. I am not that good but I think it is G C D
