I went walking, with my brother
        D     G           A   G
And he wondered, oh, how I am
          D                G
Said what I believe with my soul
          D                G
Ain't what I see with my eyes
          D            G         A   G
And there's no turning back this time
        D    G                D       G 
I am a patriot, and I love my country
           D      G        A     G       
Because my country is all I know
                   D      G
I wanna be with my family
                   D      G
People who understand me
       D        G      A G     D         (G)   
I got no place else to go...I am a patriot...        seems right.
       D     G          D         G
I went walking, with my girlfriend
              D            G                   A  G
She looked so fine, I said baby what's on your mind
                              D     G
She said I wanna run like the lions
                    D     G 
Released from their cages
                  D      G                 A      G         D      (G)
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...I am a patriot...
               D        G         
And I ain't no communist,                  |
               D        G                  |
and I ain't no socialist                   |
               D        G                  |   Hit each chord once
And I ain't no capitalist,                 |
               D        G                  |      and let ring
and I ain't no imperialist                 |
               D        G                  | 
And I ain't no democrat,                   |
               D        G                  |
I sure ain't no republican either          |
                D     G                    |
I only know one party,                     |
              D       G                    |
and that is freedom,                       |
  D      G    A                            |
 I am, I am, I am                 

        D    G                D       G 
I am a patriot, and I love my country
           D      G        A     G       
Because my country is all I know

  D                 G  
And the rivers shall open for the righteous  (repeat)
  D                 G                        A       G
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
D            G        A
Someday, someday, someday...
