VERSE 1:

G D C D

Was it just a dream, were you so confused

G D C

Was it just a giant leap of logic

G D C D

Was it the time of year, that makes a state of fear

G Dm F

Methods, were their motives for the action

CHORUS:

Am

And did I hear you say

C F Am

My country right or wrong

G D F

My Country oh so strong

G

My country right or wrong

Do INTRO RIFF once:

VERSE 2

Did you save your face

Did you breach your faith

Now who can stop the hail

When human senses fail

CHORUS (TWICE):

Did I hear you say

My country right or wrong

My country oh so strong

My country going wrong

My country right or wrong

BRIDGE:
