[Intro] D A7 [Verse 1]
          D                           G
There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere

     A7                          D
In a distant land so many miles away.

     D                               G
Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there

        A7                              D
Where I wish that I could also live someday.

        A7                              D
I'd see Lincoln, Custer, Washington and Perry

A7                           D
Nathan Hale and Colin Kelley too!

          D                           G
There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere,

       A7                                D
Waving o'er the land of heroes brave and true.
[Verse 2]
        D                              G
In this war with its mad schemes of destruction

       A7                              D
Of our country fair and our sweet liberty.

       D                            G
By the mad dictators, leaders of corruption,

          A7                           D
Can’t the U.S. use a mountain boy like me?

         A7                          D
God gave me the right to be a free American

    A7                                  D
And for that precious right I'll gladly die.

          D                           G
There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere,

        A7                          G
That is where I want to live when I die. (when I die)
[Instrumental] D G A7 D D G A7 D [Verse 3]
       D                             G
Tho' I realize I'm crippled, that is true, sir!

             A7                             D
Please don't judge my courage by my twisted leg.

       D                            G
Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do, sir!

       A7                            D
Let me help to bring the axis down a peg.

     A7                             D
If I do some great deed I will be a hero

      A7                           D
And a hero brave is what I want to be.

          D                           G
There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere

        A7                                G
In that heaven there should be a place for me.
[Outro] D A7 D
