As recorded by Merle Haggard (From the 1990 Album BLUE JUNGLE) [Intro] E A E B E [Verse 1]
E
Now that it's alright to burn the Stars and Stripes

        A                           E
Guess nobody really needs old Uncle Sam

              B
Might as well burn the Bill of Rights, as well

B
And let our country go straight to hell

     E               B               E
Only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
[Verse 2]
F#m         A
Should they throw away their purple hearts and hide their uniforms?

B      E
And be proud to hear Old Glory is on the ground?

E
Somebody said they'd take us without firing a shot

A                               E
I don't know if they will or not

                         B               E
But only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
[Steel Guitar Solo] F#m A E A E B E [Verse 3]
E
Has the Holocaust been so long? Is Hitler really gone?

      A                           E
As we burn our only cause for Vietnam?

            B
There's the mom who lost her son

B
Is this the freedom that we won?

         E               B               E
For only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
[Verse 4]
          A
I've been known to wave the flag before

A
And saddened when we went to war

E
Fighting for the symbol of our land

                                           A   E
For all the wars we fought and won to keep Old Glory waving

                     B              E
Today, they ruled to burn Old Glory down

                         B               E
And only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
