I grew up in the shadow of a bomb. _
_ [F#m] _ I come of age during Vietnam.
_ [Bm] _ Many thousands gone.
I never [E] did know why. _ _ _ _ _
[A] Oh, looking around, so hard to see _
_ _ [F#m] _ what's happening to our big family.
[Bm] I'm an American.
[E] _
I'm gonna let my free [A] flag _ fly, _ _
_ _ [D] _ [A] fly. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well, my dad preached a message of love.
_ _ [F#m] I heard him say on the day passed on above,
[Bm] he said, [D] use what you got, son, _
to raise a [E] whole crowd.
My _ _ _ _ [A] dad, I heard what you had to say.
[E] _ _ [F#m] _ I try to hold to it every day.
[Bm] _ I'm your boy.
[E] _
I'm gonna let my [A] free flag fly, fly, _ _ [D] _ _ fly, _ _

_ [A] _ [F#m] for the leaves in the sky,
roots in the ground.
_ [Bm] I'm singing and stomping like
_ _ [E] dogs that lie. _ _ _
_ [F#] Forever [A] so getting beat down.
For every [F#m] child who sees the light,
turns [Bm] around.
