VERSE 1:
G             D      C          D
Was it just a dream, were you so confused
G             D        C
Was it just a giant leap of logic
G                  D          C                D
Was it the time of year, that makes a state of fear
G                   Dm              F
Methods, were their motives for the action
tabchorus
Am And did I hear you say C F Am My country right or wrong G D My Country oh so strong F G My country right or wrong

Do INTRO RIFF once: VERSE 2 Did you save your face Did you breach your faith Women, there were children at the shelter Now who can stop the hail When human senses fail There was never any warning, no escape
tabchorus
Did I hear you say My country right or wrong My country oh so strong 2X My country going wrong My country right or wrong
