1.      I've been knockin' on the door that holds the throne,

D                                          G                                      - D - G

    I've been lookin' for the map that leads me home.

A                                        G

    I've been stumblin' on good hearts turned to stone,

A                                G

    the road of good intentions has gone dry as bone.

 

D                                    G    - D                                  G

    We take care of our own,       we take care of our own,

D                                   G      - D                                  G

    wherever this flag's flown,       we take care of our own !

2.   From Chicago to New Orleans, from the muscle to the bone,

D                                 G                                    - D  - G

    from the shotgun shack to the Superdome,

A                                          G

    we yelled "help" but the cavalry stayed home,

A                                 G

    there ain't no-one hearing the bugle blown.

 

D                                    G    - D                                  G

    We take care of our own,       we take care of our own,

D                                   G      - D                                  G

    wherever this flag's flown,       we take care of our own !

D                                             G

    Where's the love that has not forsaken me ?

D                                            G

    Where's the work that set my hands, my soul free ?

D                                        G

    Where's the spirit that'll reign, reign over me ?
