Oh, baby that's what's left of me, I don't have very far to fall

[B-Section]

D B7/D#

You know now I'm not a man who's ever been

Em Am7 G/B

Insecure about the world I've been living in

I don't break easy and I have my pride

Em F F#

But if you need to be satisfied

[Verse 2]

I'm shameless, honey I don't have a prayer

C G/B A G

And the sign says anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight

D A G A

So I jumped the fence and yelled at the house hey, what gives you the right

Bm G

To put up a fence to keep me out, or to keep mother nature in

D A  G A

If God was here he'd tell it to your face, man you're some kind of sinner

[Chorus]

And they passed around a plate at the end of it all, and I didn't have a penny to pay

Bm G 

So I got me a pen and paper, and I made out my own fuckin' sign

D A  G A

I said Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me, I'm alive and doin' fine

[Chorus]

O say can you see by the dawn's early light,

D Bm G A

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,

D Bm G A

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

D Bm G A

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

D Bm

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

G A

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;

D Bm G A

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,

D  A Bm A D

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

(Guitar solo)

D

Because we are the brave

Bm

Yes we are the brave

G

We’ll fight tyranny

In the name of the free

A

We are the U.S. of A

D

For those unaware

Bm

That flag is still there

G

It’s our future to save

This land of the brave
