CAPO II

INTRO: G C

D G

(It's America love it or leave it)

G

Well I'm gettin' mighty tired of seein' hippies runnin' wild

C

And burnin' down the schools and steppin' on the flag

Things are gettin' out of hand when you read about man

D

Who'll burn his draft car then hang around the pool room and brag

C G

Some folks think it's okay, but I wasn't raised that way

D G-C-G

And I won't be satisfied 'til I've had my say

CHORUS:

C

It's America, you got no right to deceive it

G

It's the best there is, you'd better believe it

C

Good men gave their lives, so we could live to see it

D G

It's America, love it or leave it

INTRO

G

Things are goin' mighty wrong when respect for law is gone

C

And it seems everybody hates a uniform

It's kinda hard to understand when you read about a man

D

That's talkin' 'bout love and knockin' the place he was born

C G

If things don't go their way, they could always move away

D G-C-G

That's what democracy means anyway

CHORUS

D G C G

It's America, love it or leave it
