    Em        C       G      D 
The furnace burns in steel town 
 Em           C                G         D 
Big business came and tried to shut em down 
  Em            C              G             D 
Workers got together and they bought that mill 
                 C                 D 
They're making steel in Pittsburgh still 
 Em         C           G       D 
The family farm down in Indiana 
  Em          C                G           D  
The bank's foreclosin' just because they can 
  Em           C                 G              D 
The farmer can't do nothin' 'bout another drought 
        C                           D 
But John, Waylon & Willie came and helped 'em out 
 

 
Refrão -------------
  Em           C            G      D

 Em         C          G        D 
Brother to brother, hand in hand 
 Em            C      G         D 
These are the days of America

(VERSE 2) 
  Em          C         G          D 
The wheels in Detroit keep on turnin' 
  Em          C          G            D 
A blue collar lesson there for the learnin' 
   Em                    C            G         D 
The throttle drives you anywhere no matter how far 
        C              D     
Just never give up on who you are 
 
(CHORUS) 
 (LEAD) 
 Em           C          G       D 
Right down the middle of America 
 Em           C          G         D 
Where her heart beats strong and true 
 Em          C      G       D 
Look up and just open your eyes 
     C                         D        
The flag still waves and the eagle still flies. 
 
(CHORUS) 
 
 Em     C          G       D  
These are the days 
 Em     C          G       D 
These are the days of America 
 Em     C          G       D 
These are the days 
 Em     C          G     (MUSIC STOPS) 
These are the days of America
