Chords

by Charlie Daniels [Intro] Em [Verse]
         G     G/F#     Em           G        G/F#    Em
Oh the cowards came by morning and attacked without a warning

                                           Am
Leaving flames and death and chaos in our streets

  C                         B7                 Em
In the middle of this fiery hell brave heroes fell

G                 G/F#    Em        G   G/F#            Em
In the skies of Pennsylvania on a plane bound for destruction

                                       Am
With the devil and his angels at the wheel

C                                        B7
They never reached their target on the ground

                         Em
Brave heroes brought it down
[Chorus]
              G                       C
This is a righteous cause so without doubt or pause

       D                          G
I will do what my country asks of me

          G                C
Make any sacrifice, we?ll pay whatever price

         D                           G
So the children of tomorrow can be free

              Em
Lead on red, white and blue

             Bm          C                     Cm
And we will follow you until we win the final victory

            G                        C
God help us do our best we will not slack nor rest

           D                        Em
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace

          G      G/F#      Em          G        G/F#   Em
Now the winds of war are blowing and there?s no way of knowing

                                            Am
Where this bloody path we?re traveling will lead

C                       B7                   Em
We must follow till the end, or face it all again

         G    G/F#    Em      G         G/F#                   Em
And make no mistake about it, write it, sing it, preach it, shout it

                                              Am
Across the mountains and the deserts and the seas

C                           B7                        Em
The blood of innocence and shame, will not be shed in vain
[Chorus]
            G                         C
God help us do our best we will not slack nor rest

          D                         Em
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace
