E G D (x3)
A
[Verse]
E G D E G D There’s plenty of things in life that can bring you to your knees E G D E G D punched in the gut, or makin’ it home after a year fightin’ overseas E G D E G D Part of growin’ up is learning to stand up on your feet E G D A When you die they’ll lay you down, watch what you do with the in between
[Chorus]
E You can kneel to put that ring on her hand G And kneel before your God D Kneel to help a friend to their feet A When you’re the only one they’ve got E You can kneel at the stone of a hero G Who laid down their life D But when the flag is raised and that music plays A Oh say I better see you rise E G D I stand E G D Oh I stand
E G D A
[Verse]
E G D E G D I don’t have to like what you say, but I’ll die to defend your right E G D E G D Soldiers they don’t care who you voted for last time E G D E G D So show some respect when old glory waves and you hear that sacred tune E G D A I’ve seen an old man stand and salute from a wheelchair, dammit you can too
[Chorus]
E You can kneel to put that ring on her hand G And kneel before your God D Kneel to help a friend to their feet A When you’re the only one they’ve got E You can kneel at the stone of a hero G Who laid down their life D But when the flag is raised and that music plays A Oh say I better see you rise E G D I stand
[Bridge]
G D E Oh so proudly we stand, cuz divided we fall G D A At the dawn’s early light, she waves for us all
[Chorus]
E You can kneel to put that ring on her hand G And kneel before your God D Kneel to help a friend to their feet A When you’re the only one they’ve got E You can kneel at the stone of a hero G Who laid down their life D But when the flag is raised and that music plays A Oh say I better see you rise, Oh say I better see you rise E G D I stand E G D Oh I stand E G D Yeah, I stand
