American Soldier

Chords
pin

(A)I'm just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a(E/G#)lover to their mother
Everything to everyone
Up and at(D/F#)'em, bright and early
I'm all business in my suit
Yeah, I'm(Esus4)dressed up for success(E),from my head down to my bo(E)ots
I don't(A)do it for money, there's bills that I can't pay
I don't(E/F#)do it for the glory, I just do it anyway
Pro(D/F#)viding for our future's my responsibility

Yeah I'm(Esus4)real good under pres(E)sure, being all that I can be(E)
And I can't(A)call in sick on Mondays when the weekend's been too strong
I just(E/G#)work straight through the holidays
And sometimes all night long
You can(D/F#)bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door
Hey, I'm so(Esus4)lid, hey I'm(E)steady, hey I'm(Esus4)true down to the  core(E)

And I will(A)always do my duty no matter what the price
I've(E)counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh, and(D)I don't want to die for you
But if dyin's asked of me
I'll(Esus4)bear that cross with ho(E)nor
'Cause(Esus4)freedom don't come(E)free

I'm an Ame(A)rican soldier, an American
Beside my (F#m)brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When(D)liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm(A)out here on the front lines, (B7)sleep in peace tonight
Am(D)erican soldier      (Esus4)      (E) , I'm an Amer(a)ican soldier       (F#m)       (D)      (E)      

Yeah, an Ame(A)rican soldier, an American
Beside my br(F#m)others and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When lib(D)erty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm(A)out here on the front line, so sl(B7)eep in peace tonight
Ame(D)rican soldier,  (Esus4)   (E)  I'm an Am(a)erican
An Am(F#m)erican
An American sold(A)ier   (outro)    (F#m)            (D)             

   (Esus4)     (E)           (A)      (F#m)        (D)      (Esus4)   
 
             (E)       (repeat and fade)
