Toby Keith - Angry American guitar chord

I have seen Toby play this song on GAC and he plays with a capo on 2. This is more

accurate than the other versions and is easier to play.

Capo 2

C x 3 2 0 1 0

G 3 2 0 0 0 3

Am x 0 2 2 1 0

Em 0 2 2 0 0 0

F 1 3 3 2 1 1

A 0 0 2 2 2 0

Verse 1:

C G

American girls and American guys

Am Em

We’ll always stand up and salute, we’ll always recognize

F C

When we see old glory flyin’, there’s alot of men dead

G

So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our heads

Verse 2:

C G

My daddy served in the army where he lost his right eye

Am Em

But he flew a flag out in our yard till the day that he died

F C

He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me

G

To grow up and live happy in the land of the free

Verse 3:

C G

Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack

Am Em

A mighty sucker punch came flyin’ in from somewhere in the back

F C

Soon as we could see clearly thru our big black eye

G

Man we lit up your world like the 4th of July

Chorus:

F G

Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list

C Am

And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist

F G

And the eagle will fly, Man, it’s gonna be hell

C Am

When you hear Mother Freedom start a-ringin her bell

F G A

And it’ll feel like the whole wide world is rainin’ down on you

F G C

Brought to you courtesy of the red, white, and blue

Verse 4:

C G

Justice will be served and the battle will rage

Am Em

This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage

F C

And you’ll be sorry that you messed with the U.S. of A-A-A-A

G

Cause we’ll put a boot in your ass, it’s the American way

Repeat Chorus
