I was baffled this song isn't on here. It's a JC essential, as well as a patriotic essential. Anyway, enjoy! --- C (intro fiddles with the high e and b string)

^CIm a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam A rough riding ^Ffighting Yankee ^Cman ^CI love mom and apple pie and the freedoms that we all enjoy ^AmAcross this ^Dbeautiful ^Gland

^CI worked hard and I fight hard for the old red, white and blue And Ill ^Fdie a whole lot harder if it ^Gcomes to where I have to Im a ^Cflag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam A ^Drough riding ^Gfighting Yankee ^Cman

And when I ^Fsee old glory waving I think of all the brave men Who have ^Bbfought and died for what is right and ^Fwrong

^FAnd when I see old glory burn' ^FMy blood begins to churn And ^GI could do some fightin of my ^Cown

^FI dont believe in violence, Im a God fearing man But Id ^Bbstand up for my country just as ^Clong as I can stand 'Cause Im a ^Fflag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam A ^Grough riding ^Cfighting Yankee ^Fman

^CIm a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam A ^Frough riding fighting Yankee ^Cman ^CAnd I enjoy the liberty of being what I want to be And ^Amachieve as many ^Dgoals as I ^Gcan

I was ^Ctaught to turn the other cheek, but daddy used to say ^FWalk soft and pack a big stick, but ^Gnever walk away f Im a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam A ^Grough riding ^Cfighting Yankee ^Fman

And when I ^Fsee old glory waving I think of all the brave men Who have ^Bbfought and died for what is right and ^Fwrong

^FAnd when I see old glory burn' ^FMy blood begins to churn And ^GI could do some fightin of my ^Cown

'Cause I ^Flove all my brothers and we're proud of our birth Weve ^Bbgot the greatest country here on ^GGods green ^Cearth And Im a ^Fflag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam A ^Grough riding ^Cfighting Yankee ^Fman
