verse 1
C F C G
I pledge allegiance to the flag, Of the United States, Of America,
C F C G
I'll stand and place my hand upon my heart, Every time her anthem plays,
F G7 C Am
And when I see somebody on TV, Take their stand on bended knee,
F F Am Am7
Whether it's on AstroTurf or grass,
C C G G C
I think of those whose freedom was not free, And I say, “Take a knee? My Ass.”
F C
I'll stand up for my flag, Take off my hat for Old Glory,
G C
Thank God I live in the home of the brave, And the land of the free,
F C Am
I'll honor the ones who gave it all, So we're all free to go and play ball,
C G C G
If only for their sake, I won't take a knee.
