Verse: A I'm just trying to be a father. Raise a daughter and a son. E Be a lover to thier mother, and everything to everyone. D Up and at em bright and early, I'm all buisness in my suit. E Yeah I'm dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots. A I don't do it for the money, there bills that I can't pay. E I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway. D Providing for our futures, my responsibility. E Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be. A I can't call in sick on monday when the weekend's been to strong. E I just work straight through the hollidays, sometimes all night long. D And you can bet that I stand ready, when the wolf growls at the door. E Hey I'm solid. Hey I'm steady. Hey I'm true down to the core. Pre Chorus: A And I will always do my duties no matter what the price. E I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice. D Oh and I don't want to die for you, but if dying's asked of me. E I'll bear that cross with honor, 'cause freedom don't come free. Chorus: A I'm an American Soldier, I'm an American F#m Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand. D When liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right. A B I'm out here on the front line. Sleep in peace tonight. D E A American Soldier, I'm an American Soldier F#m D E Chorus (F#m D E A) x2
