Chords

This song is pretty easy to play. Just the key of E. He actually picks the chords out in the song, but here ya go. [Verse 1]
G
I'm just trying to be a father. Raise a daughter and a son.

D
Be a lover to their mother, and everything to everyone.

C
Up and at 'em bright and early, I'm all business in my suit.

D
Yeah I'm dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots.

G
I don't do it for the money, there's bills that I can't pay.

D
I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway.

C
Providing for our futures, my responsibility.

D
Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be.

G
I can't call in sick on Monday when the weekend's been too strong.

D
I just work straight through the holidays, sometimes all night long.

C
And you can bet that I stand ready, when the wolf growls at the door.

D
Hey I'm solid. Hey I'm steady. Hey I'm true down to the core.
[Pre-Chorus]
G
And I will always do my duty no matter what the price.

D
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice.

C
Oh, and I don't want to die for you, but if dying's asked of me.

D
I'll bear that cross with honor, 'cause freedom don't come free.
[Chorus]
          G
I'm an American Soldier, I'm an American

            Em
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand.

C
When liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right.

I'm out here on the front line. Sleep in peace tonight.

When liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right.

I'm out here on the front line. Sleep in peace tonight.
