If to-[D<\/em>]<\/strong>morrow all the things were gone<\/span>
\nI [G<\/em>]<\/strong> worked for all my life.<\/span>

I’m [A<\/em>]<\/strong> proud to be an American<\/span>
\nWhere at [G<\/em>]<\/strong> least I know I’m [D<\/em>]<\/strong> free.<\/span>
\nAnd I [A<\/em>]<\/strong> won’t forget the men who died<\/span>
\nAnd [G<\/em>]<\/strong> gave that right to [D<\/em>]<\/strong> me.<\/span>
\nAnd I’ll gladly [Bm<\/em>]<\/strong> stand up [D<\/em>]<\/strong> next to you<\/span>

\nA-[Em<\/em>]<\/strong>cross the plains of Texas,<\/span>
\nFrom [C<\/em>]<\/strong> sea to shining [A<\/em>]<\/strong> sea.<\/span>
\nFrom [D<\/em>]<\/strong> Detroit down to Houston,<\/span>
\nAnd [F#m<\/em>]<\/strong> New York to L.A.<\/span>
\nThere’s [Em7<\/em>]<\/strong> pride in every American heart<\/span>
