A Thing (x2)
(Verse 1)
[A]Red and white, blue suede shoes
I'm Un[A7]cle Sam, how do you do?
[D]Gimme five, I'm still alive
Ain't [E]no luck, [B]I [E]learn[E]ed[B] t[E]o duck
[A]Check my pulse, it don't change
St[A7]ay seventy-two come shine or rain
[D]Wave the flag, pop the bag
Ro[E]ck [B]th[E]e boa[E]t,[B] s[E]kin the goat
(Chorus)
W[E]ave that f[B]lag, wave it wide and high
S[E]ummertime [B]done, come and gone, my oh my
(Verse 2)
I[A]'m Uncle Sam, that's who I am
Be[A7]en hidin' out in a rock and roll band
S[D]hake the hand that shook the hand
Of P.[EB]T. B[E]arnum[E] a[B]nd[E] Charlie Chan
S[A]hine your shoes, light your fuse
Can [A7]you use them ol' U.S. Blues?
I[D]'ll drink your health, share your wealth
Ru[EB]n yo[E]ur li[E]fe[B], [E]steal your wife
(Chorus)
W[E]ave that f[B]lag, wave it wide and high
S[E]ummertime [B]done, come and gone, my oh my
Solo (verse)
[A]Back to back, chicken shack
Son of[A7] a gun, better change your act
[D]We're all confused, what's to lose?
You ca[E]n call th[B]is[E] song[E] t[B]he[E] United States Blues
(Chorus)
W[E]ave that f[B]lag, wave it wide and high
S[E]ummertime [B]done, come and gone, my oh my
my my, my my, my oh my, oh my
W[E]ave that f[B]lag, wave it wide and high
S[E]ummertime [B]done, c[E7]ome and gone, my oh my
