A                           D       A
I got Ol' Glory hanging out in my garage
                                        E
And one on the chrome post flying in my yard
        D                           A
I got a patch on my jacket - says 101st
                                E               A
And a sticker on my bumper says don't mess with her


                   D
These colors don’t run
                      A
I hold ‘em dear to my heart
               Bm
With all of my might
               D
I stand up and fight
                         E
For every star and every stripe                          
                  D                            E
Yeah, I’m a proud supporter of the men and the women
    A                        D
Who risk their lives for our cause
               A
Let me tell ya son
                   E
We’re still number one,
          D            A
And these colors don’t run


A                                          D            A
I pledge allegiance to this nation and the eagle flyin' high
                                                      E
I'm the first to shoot off fireworks on the Fourth of July
    D                                        A
And God bless the people who love this great land
                              E         A
Ah, when it comes to freedom, UNITED WE STAND!


                   D
These colors don’t run
                      A
I hold ‘em dear to my heart
               Bm
With all of my might
               D
I stand up and fight
                         E
For every star and every stripe       
                  D                            E
Yeah, I’m a proud supporter of the men and the women
    A                        D
Who risk their lives for our cause
               A
Let me tell ya son
                   E
We’re still number one,
          D            A
And these colors don’t run

We never will, we never have

And you better be glad

These colors don’t run
