               American Soldier 

 5   -5    6     6  6 6  6  5      
I`m just try`n` to be a fat-her,  

  5   -5  6    6   6  6  4 
raise a daugh-ter and a son 

 5 6  6 6   6    6    6   -4     
Be a lov-er to their moth-er,  

 5  6   6    5  6 5  -6 
Ev`ry thing to ev`ry one
 
5   6   6   6    6    6   6 4    4   6  -5   -5 
Up and at `em bright and early, I`m all bus`ness 

-5  5  -4 
in my suit 

  6    6     6     6  6    6 -4   -4   6  6 
Yeah, I`m dressed up for success from my head  

 6  -6   5   6 
down to my boots 

VERSE 2. 
I don`t do it for the money, there`s bills that I 
can`t pay 
I don`t do it for the glory, I just do it anyway 
Providing for our future`s my re-spon-si-bil-ity 
Yeah, I`m real good under pressure bein` all that 
I can be 

VERSE 3. 
And I can`t call in sick on Mondays when the 
week-end`s been too strong 
I just work straight through the holidays,  
some-times all night long 
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at
the door 

 6    6   6   6   6    6    6  -4  -4  
Hey, I`m sol-id, hey, I`m stead-y hey  

 6    6   6    6  6   -4 
I`m true down to the core. 

VERSE 4. 

 6  6  6    6  7   7 -8 -8 8   
And I will always do my duty,  

-8  -8  -8  -8   7    8 
no mat-ter what the price.   

 -8   -8 -8  -8 -8   -8   9  9   -9  -9 8 -8 
I`ve counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice 

 9   9 -9  -9    8    8  7   7   7    8   9 
Oh, and I don`t want to die for you, but if  

-9 -9    -9  -8   9 
dy-in`s asked of me, 

  9   -9   -9    -9    8  -8-7    -7    9 -9 
I`ll bear that cross with honer `cause freedom 

 -9    8    -8 
don`t come free 

CHORUS 

 -8 -8 -8 -8 8  8   8   7    7 7 -8  7 8      
I`m an A-mer-i-can Sol-dier an A-mer-i-can,   

 7  7  -8   -8  -8    -8  9  8   -8
be-side my bro-thers and my sis-ters

 7  -6    7   -8  -8  9   8
I will proud-ly take a  stand 

  9   9  -9  -9  8  -8   7   7  
When lib-er-ty`s in jeo-par-dy   

9  9    9  -9  -9   8     -8
I will al-ways do what’s right

 -9  -9   8  -8  -8   -8    7 
I`m out here on the front lines 

-10    8  -8    7 -8    -9  -9   8  -8 -8 
sleep in peace to-night I`m out here on the  

 -8     7    7  -10   8  -8   7  -8 8-8 7 
front lines so sleep in peace to-night 

6 -6  7  7   7 8 -9 8 -8 
A-mer-i-can Soldier~~~~
