Where The Stars And Stripes chords

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.

[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.
