Chords for Kid Rock Speech and "All Summer Long" Live in Iraq

[Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _
But [G] I also like to _ say that I really [D] appreciate _ [C] you protecting the [G] freedom of speech. _
And let me tell you why. _ _ _
_ See, last year I got in a little, how do you say, altercation down there in Georgia at the Wahoo House. _
_ _ _ And _
[D] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] as _ part of my sentence, I took [D] my lunch and the judge said,
you got to do [G] 80 hours of community service.
I said, _ [D] cool, no problem.
I pretty much do that anyway in and [C] around Detroit, you know,
[G] help out a lot of terminally ill children, do [D] things for autism, for cancer, [C] many different things.
I just [G] don't write my hours down, so no big deal.
But I thought, [D] well shit, I'm [C] going back to the Middle [G] East to do what you guys are saying.
_ _ _ [D]
Could that maybe [C] constitute as my community [G] service?
I really can't think of any more community service [D] you can do than that.
[C] And _ [G] this _ motherfucker said, no.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ And I wasn't really to know that guy, it was his phrasing _
[C] in his [G] order. _
He said, giving him credit _ to go _ and otherwise do something he normally would love [D] to do to be in front of [C] a camera.
[G] I was like, oh, this trick. _ _ _
[D] _ _ [C] First of all, yes, I love to [G] play and I love to sing.
And I will come here and [D] sing for you guys for as long [C] as you want me to, as long as you're here.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[C] But to [G] say that any of us love to be here and do what we're doing, [D] _ _
[G] motherfucker, come on.
_ I can think of a lot of places I'd love to be.
[D]
Let's see, [G] maybe on a beach in southern Florida somewhere. _ _ _
_ Maybe up in the beautiful mountains of Colorado skiing, I don't know.
Shit, how about this?
Maybe, here's a novel idea, maybe I'd really like to just be home with my family in my own bed [D] in a hot shower right [F] now.
You know what I'm [G] saying? _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [C] And then to say I love to [G] do it to come in front of a camera.
_ _ _ [Ab] I ain't [C]
never_
_ _ [G] I got some extra cash, we'll talk after that.
_ _ _ _ I love [Cm] to come over here to [G] be in front of a camera. _
I ain't never came [D] over here to promote a record or [C] try to sell [G] shit.
I come over here because I know it's the right thing to do.
The only cameras I come over here to be in front of are the one pointing at me right now, yours.
_ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ So he pissed me [G] off.
Anyway, I've been having some fun with him on the internet and whatnot.
[D] _ _ _ [C]
But I [G] just want to thank you for protecting the freedom of speech this _ [D] year.
[C] So I can _ [G] say_ _ _
So I can say_

And [D] we were trying to [C] rap fast.
We [G] were smoking funny facts.
[D] Making love [C] out by the lake to our [G] favorite song. _
