Joe Paul Nichols - There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere

There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere 
     E                          A
in a distant land so many miles away.
     A                                      D
And only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there 
        E                               A
where I wish that I could also live someday.

        E                               A
I'd see Lincoln, Custer, Washington and Perry 
    E                            A
and Nathan Hale and Colin Kelley too!

There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere, 
       E                                 A
waving o'er the land of heroes brave and true.

In this war with its mad schemes of destruction 
of our country fair and our sweet liberty. 
By the mad dictators, leaders of corruption, 
can't the U. S. use a country boy like me?

God gave me the right to be a free American 
and for that precious right I'd gladly die. 
There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere, 
That is where I want to live when I die.

There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere,
That is where I want to live when I die
