VERSE 1:
[G]Was it just a [D]dream, [C]were you so[D] confused
[G]Was it just a [D]giant lea[C]p of logic
[G]Was it the time of [D]year, that [C]makes a state of [D]fear
[G]Methods, were their [Dm]motives for the [F]action
CHORUS:
And did I hear you [Am]say
[C]My [F]country right or [Am]wrong
[G]My [D]Country oh so strong
My [F]country ri[G]ght or wrong
Do INTRO RIFF once:

Did you save your face
Did you breach your faith
Women, there were children at the shelter

CHORUS (TWICE):
Did I hear you say
My country right or wrong
My country oh so strong
My country going wrong
My country right or wrong
BRIDGE:
