[Verse]
GDG
Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face
CG
It's just the old man in me
CmB7EmBm
Washing his truck at the Sinclair station
CDG
In the land of the free (Ooh)
GDG
His mother, Adeline's family, came on a ship
CG
Cut coal and planted a seed
CmB7EmBm
Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania
CDG
In the land of the free
[Chorus]
GD
Land of the free, land of the free
C
In the land of the free
G
Land of the free, land of the free
CmB7EmBm
Land of the free, land of the free
CDG
In the land of the free
(I'm standing crying)
[Verse]
GDG
When I go out in my car, I don't think twice
CG
But if you're the wrong color skin (I'm standing, crying)
CmB7EmBm
You grow up looking over both your shoulders
CDG
In the land of the free
GDG
And we got more people locked up than the rest of the world
CG
Right here in Red, White and Blue (I'm standing, crying)
CmB7EmBm
Incarceration's become big business
CDG
It's harvest time out on the avenue
[Chorus]
GD
Land of the free, land of the free
C
In the land of the free
G
Land of the free, land of the free
CmB7EmBm
Move on there's nothing to see
Land of the free, land of the free
CDG
In the land of the free
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
G
I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
C
I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
GDG
So how many daughters, tell me, how many sons
Do we have to have to put in the ground
B7CG
Before we just break down and face it:
CmG
We got a problem with guns? (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
In the land of the free
GDG
Down at the border, they're gonna put up a wall
CG
Concrete and Rebar Steel beams (I'm standing crying)
CmB7EmBm
High enough to keep all those filthy hands off
CDG
Of our hopes and our dreams (I'm standing crying)
CmB7EmBmCD
People who just want the same things we do
G
In the land of the free
[Chorus]
GD
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
CG
Land of the free, land of the free
CmB7EmBm
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
GD
Land of the free, land of the free
CG
Land of the free, land of the free
CmB7EmBm
Land of the free, land of the free
CDG
In the land of the free (I'm standing crying)
