G                               C                            
Sometimes I wanna light up underneath the no-smoking sign

Sometimes I wish they'd tell me, how justice got so blind

'Cause that ain't my America  
     C                    G

That Ain't My America 


G   
I was standing there in Dallas 
C
Waitin on a plane 
  G
I overheard an old man 
C
Tell a young soldier "thanks" 
         Em                                    C
The young soldier hung his head and said "it's hard to believe 
           G    D       Em       D       C     D       G
You're the only one who took the time to say a word to me" 
G
And the old man said... 


G             Em        
That ain't my America

Bm                                                  C           
It's to the women and men who in their hands hold a Bible and a gun 
Am                                             C              D  G  C  G  C      
And they ain't afraid of nothing, when they're holding either one 


            G
Now there's kids who can't pray in school 
     C
$100 dollar tanks of gas

But I ain't letting you 
    G      D            Em     D     C          C/B        Am
I'm mad as hell and you know I still bleed Red, White, and Blue
