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
E                       
   I've been stumblin' on
  D
good hearts turned to stone
E                  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
E                     
   We yelled "help" but
   D
the cavalry stayed home
E                   
   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

[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
E              D
 Wherever this flag is flown
E              D
 Wherever this flag is flown
E              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
