Chords

I was baffled this song isn't on here. It's a JC essential. If you watch the live version, you'll notice JC playing it in D and he's leaving out most of the sevenths C(7) = D(7) F = G G(7) = A(7) D(7) = E(7) Bb = C C (intro fiddles with the high e and b string) [Verse 1]
C                          C7
Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

  F                            C
A rough riding fighting Yankee man

C
I love mom and apple pie and the freedoms that we all enjoy

D7                    G
Across this beautiful land

C                                            C7
I worked hard and I'd fight hard for the old red, white and blue

        F                            G7
And Ill die a whole lot harder if it comes to where I have to

     C
Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

  D7           G7               C
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
[Chorus]
           F
And when I see old glory waving I think of all the brave men

         Bb                                    F
Who have fought and died for what is right and wrong

F
And when I see old glory burn', my blood begins to churn

    G7                            C
And I could do some fightin of my own
[Verse 2]
F
I dont believe in violence, Im a God fearing man

       Bb                              C
But Id stand up for my country just as long as I can stand

            F
'Cause Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

  G7           C              F
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
[Bridge] G7 C [Verse 3]
C
Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

  F                            C
A rough riding fighting Yankee man

C
And I enjoy the liberty of being what I want to be

    D7                    G7
And achieve as many goals as I can

      C
I was taught to turn the other cheek, but Teddy used to say

F                                   G
Talk soft and pack a big stick, but never walk away

      C
I'm a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

  D7           G7              C
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
[Verse]
           F
And when I see old glory waving, I think of all the brave men

         Bb                                    F
Who have fought and died for what is right and wrong

F
And when I see old glory burnin', my blood begins to churn

    G                             C
And I could do some fightin of my own
[Verse 4]
         F
'Cause I love all my brothers and we're proud of our birth

     Bb                               C
Weve got the greatest country here on Gods green earth

          F
And I'm a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

  G7           C7              F
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
F(flute, or whistle, plays until fade)
