[Hook] Am C G Am Am Em C G D Am C G Am Am Em C G D [Verse 1]
G               D     C              D
Was it just a dream? Were you so confused?

G              D             C
Was it just a giant leap of logic?

G                   D         C                D
Was it the time of year that makes a state of fear

 G                  Dm              F
Methods were their motives for the action

                   Am
And did I hear you say
[Chorus]
Am  C    F                Am
    My country, right or wrong

G    D                 F
My country, right or wrong

    G                 Am
My country, right or wrong
[Hook] Am C G Am Am Em C G D [Verse 2]
 G                 D     C                    D
Did you save your face? Did you breach your faith?

 G                  D               C
Women, there were children at the shelter

     G                D         C            D
Now who can stop the hail when human senses fail?

           G         Dm            F
There was never any warning, no escape

                   Am
And did I hear you say
[Chorus]
Am  C    F                Am
    My country, right or wrong

G    D               F
My country, oh so strong

    G                Am
My country right or wrong

Am C   F                Am
My-y country, right or wrong

G    D               F
My country's going wrong

     G                Am
My country, right or wrong
[Bridge]
F#
I hear you say the truth must take a beating

                                  D7
The flag a camouflage for your deceiving

      E7      B
Cause I know, I know; it's written on your soul

C
I know we all make mistakes

(Spoken) This is not a case of blurred vision It's a case of black holes, pocket holes, soul holes And did I hear you say

My-y country, right or wrong
