I Am A Patriot Chords

(ver. 1)
Jackson Browne
[Intro]
G             G/C
And the river opens for the righteous
G             G/C
And the river opens for the righteous
G             G/C
And the river opens for the righteous
G             G/C
And the river opens for the righteous
G             G/C
And the river opens for the righteous
G             G/C
Someday

[Verse]
      G   G/C         G   G/C
I was walking with my brother
       G    G/C              D C
And he wondered what's on my mind
                G           G/C
I said what I believe in my soul
             G           G/C
Ain't what I see with my eyes
       Em             C          D C
And we can't turn our backs this time

[Chorus]
       G       G/C
I am a patriot
              G       G/C
And I love my county
           G     G/C        D  C
Because my country is all I know
                     G   G/C
I want to be with my family
                     G     G/C
The people who understand me
         Em      C       D C
I've got nowhere else to go

G             G/C
And the river opens for the righteous
G             G/C
And the river opens for the righteous
G             G/C
And the river opens for the righteous
G             G/C
Someday

[Verse]
          G    G/C        G    G/C
And I was talking with my sister
              G
She looked so fine
        C                     D
I said, "Baby, what's on your mind?"
          C                       G  G/C
She said, "I want to run like the lion"
                  G   G/C
Released from the cages
                  Em
Released from the rages
C                   D   C
Burning in my heart tonight

[Instrumental]
G G/C x2

[Bridge]
               Em        C/G 
And I ain't no communist
               Em        C/G
And I ain't no capitalist
               Em        C/G
And I ain't no socialist
               Em        C/G
And I ain't no imperialist
               Em        C/G
And I ain't no democrat
              Em        C/G
Sure ain't no republican
                Em        C/G
I only know one party
          Em        C/G
And it is freedom

[Chorus]
  G     C     D
I am, I am, I am
       G    G/C
I am a patriot
              G     G/C
And I love my country
           G   G/C         D    C
Because my county is all I know
                     G   G/C
I want to be with my family
                     G     G/C
The people who understand me
         Em      C       D C
I've got nowhere else to go

[Outro]
G             G/C
And the river opens for the righteous
G             G/C
And the river opens for the righteous
G             G/C
And the river opens for the righteous
C/G   G
Someday
