We Take Care Of Our Own

[Intro]
D# G# 6x


[Verse]
D#                          
   I've been knockin' on the
  G#                         D#  G#
door that holds the throne
D#                      
   I've been lookin' for
     G#                     D#  G#
the map that leads me home
A#                       
   I've been stumblin' on
  G#
good hearts turned to stone
A#                  G#  
The road of good intentions

has gone dry as bone


[Chorus]
D#                 G#
 We take care of our own
D#                 G#
 We take care of our own
D#                     G#
 Wherever this flag's flown
D#                 G#
 We take care of our own


[Verse]
D#                G#           
   From Chicago to New Orleans,
                             D#  G#
from the muscle to the bone
D#                 
   From the shotgun
  G#                     D#  G#
shack to the Superdome
A#                     
   We yelled "help" but
   G#
the cavalry stayed home
A#                   
   There ain't no-one
  G#
hearing the bugle blown


[Chorus]
D#                 G#
 We take care of our own
D#                 G#
 We take care of our own
D#                     G#
 Wherever this flag's flown
D#                 G#
 We take care of our own


[Interlude]
A# G# 2x
D#  G#  2x


[Verse]
D#                G#  
Where the eyes, the

eyes with the will to see
D#                       
   Where the hearts, that
  G#
run over with mercy
D#                      
   Where's the love that
     G#
has not forsaken me
D#                      
   Where's the work that
  G#
set my hands, my soul free
D#                           
   Where's the spirit that'll
  G#
reign, reign over me
D#                     
   Where's the promise,
      G#
from sea to shining sea
D#                     
   Where's the promise,
      G#
from sea to shining sea
A#              G#
 Wherever this flag is flown
A#              G#
 Wherever this flag is flown
A#              G#
 Wherever this flag is flown


[Chorus]
D#                 G#
 We take care of our own
D#                 G#
 We take care of our own
D#                     G#
 Wherever this flag's flown
D#                 G#
 We take care of our own


[Chorus]
D#                 G#
 We take care of our own
D#                 G#
 We take care of our own
D#                     G#
 Wherever this flag's flown
D#                G#
 We take care of our own
