Somebody's Tearin' The Flag Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Somebody's tearin' the flag
Rippin' the thread from [D]the stars
To pullin' this country apart
[Am]Somebody's tearin' t[D]he flag[G]
Lord, I've been thinkin'
Sittin' out here on my front porch
All [D]by myself
And I realize I need to talk to somebody
I'm just too mixed up to
[G]talk to anybody else
I've been in there looking at
the television
and I've been reading that
newspaper every [D]night
Lord, there's something going on
out there
and best I can figure there ain't
nobody [G]right
Somebody's tearin' the flag
Rippin' the thread from [D]the stars
Pullin' this country apart
Some[Am]body's tear[D]in' the [G]flag
You know I went into town
to pay the light bill today
and pick up just a few [D]things
down at the store.
Lord, the prices have gone
up so much this year.
Working man don't [G]stand much
of a chance no more.
Why, he's overtaxed,
he's underpaid,
can't buy the things for [D]his kids,
a decent home.
And with the drugs and the maniacs
running loose on the streets,
It ain't safe to be out [G]alone.
Somebody's tearin' the flag,
Rippin' the thread from [D]the stars,
Pullin' this country apart.
[Am]Somebody's tear[D]in' the [G]flag.
Well, I can't even tell if the
bad guys are after the good guys
or the good guys are after [D]the bad.
And I really got to watch what I say
around my friends
because one of them's
a lot of a [G]good man.
Lord, you know me and I
ain't give up yet.
Maybe I'm just tired and all [D]worn out.
But it kind of looks like to me
that this one nation under God
is going to need God to
[G]come straighten it out.
Somebody's tearin' the flag,
rippin' the thread from [D]the stars,
Well, in this country of ours
Some[Am]body's [D]burnin' the fla[G]g[C]
