American Soldier
Toby Keith
Written By: Toby Keith and Chuck Cannon
Album:  Shock'n Y'all


A						   			
I'm just trying to be a father, raise a daughter and a son
       E		     Esus              E
Be a lover to their mother, everything to everyone
             D
Up and at 'em bright and early, I'm all business in my suit
    Esus                E	        Esus             E
Yea I'm dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots
        A
I donŐt do it for the money, there's bills that I can't pay
	E                          Esus      E
I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway
    D
Providing for our future's, my responsibility
Esus                    E	       Esus            E
Yea I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be

             A
And I can't call in sick on Mondays, when the weekends been too strong
             E                                 Esus                 E
I just work straight through the holidays, and sometimes all night long
        D
You can bet that I stand ready, when the wolf growls at the door
         Esus            E	        Esus              E
Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey I'm true down to the core

	    A
And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
       E                    Esus          E
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
	 D
Oh, and I donŐt want to die for you, but if dyin's asked of me
     Esus                  E	       Esus               E
I'll bear that cross with honor, cause freedom donŐt come free


CHORUS:
	A
I'm an American soldier, and American
	    F#m
Beside my brothers and my sisters, I will proudly take a stand
       D
When liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right
     A				   B
I'm out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight
     D 	         E         A
American soldier, I'm an American soldier

F#m | D | E
