Luke Stricklin
G
(início)
D C Bottom of my boots sure are gettin' worn G D there's a lot of holes in this faded uniform D C My hands are black with dirt and so is my face G D I aint never been to hell but it couldn't be any worse than this place. D C Tell my wife don't worry 'cause I know what to do G D it makes her feel better sometimes, but I don't know if it's true. D C I know if I die it's just my time to go G D but I pray to God every day that I make it back home.
Chorus
Am C Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad G D quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have Am C G 'Cause I could be raising my family in this place but I was born an American G (strum 1x) D by Gods Amazing Grace.
Verse 2
D C For the last twelve months I've had a new address G the neighborhood smells like sewage D and the streets are lined with trash. D C You never know what's gonna be the next thing to explode G D but unlike these people, I have another home. D C It breaks my heart to see these kids out on the streets G D walking barefoot through the trash, beggin' for something to eat. D C I give them what I got, just to let them know I care G D and I thank God it's not my son that's standing there.
Chorus
Am C Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad G D quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have Am C G 'Cause I could be raising my family in this place but I was born an American G (strum 1x) D by Gods Amazing Grace.
Bridge

Verse 3
D C You want to talk about it, you better keep it short cause G D I got a lot of lost time I gotta make up for. D C Really don't care why Bush went in to Iraq G D I know what I've done there and I'm damn sure proud of that. D C You got somethin' bad to say about the USA G D you better save it for different ears 'less you want to crawl away. D C And I'll laugh in your face when you say you've got it bad G D and tell you to spend some time on the streets of Baghdad
Chorus
Am C Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad G D quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have Am C G 'Cause you could be raising your family in this place but you were born an American G (strum 1x) D by Gods Amazing Grace.
