We Take Care Of Our Own

[Intro]
A# D# 6x


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

has gone dry as bone


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


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


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

F D# 2x
A#  D#  2x


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

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


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


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