U.S. Blues

The Grateful Dead

A Thing (x2)
          A             
          Red and white, blue suede shoes
                                                                A7
          I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
          D
          Gimme five, I'm still alive
                                    E                        B E    E B E
          Ain't no luck, I learned to duck

          Check my pulse, it don't change
          Stay seventy-two come shine or rain
          Wave the flag, pop the bag
          Rock the boat, skin the goat

                              B                                                     E
                              Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
                              B                                                                   E      E
                              Summertime done, come and gone, my oh my

          I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am
          Been hidin' out in a rock and roll band
          Shake the hand that shook the hand
          Of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan

          Shine your shoes, light your fuse
          Can you use them ol' U.S. Blues?
          I'll drink your health, share your wealth
          Run your life, steal your wife

                              Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
                              Summertime done, come and gone, my oh my
                                                   *Solo*   (verse)

          Back to back, chicken shack
          Son of a gun, better change your act
          We're all confused, what's to lose?
          You can call this song the United States Blues

                              Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
                              Summertime done, come and gone, my oh my
                                 my my, my my, my oh my, oh my

                              Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
                              Summertime done, come and gone, my oh my...
                                                                                                              E7
