Intro:  G    D/F#    C    G    Am7    Dsus    G 

             G                      Am7 
I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car
        C                G 
Says United States Marines
 G                           Am7 
And yesterday a lady in a mini-van 
      C                         D 
Held up her middle finger at me
          Em           D           C9 
Does she think she knows what I stand for
         Em           D       C9 
Or the things that I believe
          C                             G       Em 
Just by looking at a sticker for the US Marines
         C             Dsus      G 
On the bumper of my S - U - V

      G                   Am7 
See, my brother Chris, he's been in 
      C              G 
For more than 14 years now
      G                           Am7 
Our dad was in the Navy during Vietnam
          C                  D 
Did his duty then he got out
         Em        D            C9 
And my grandpa earned his purple heart
          Em        D       C9 
On the beach of Normandy
         C                               G       Em 
That's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines
         C             Dsus      G 
On the bumper of my S - U - V

           D        D/F#        G 
But that doesn't mean that I want war
            D            D/F#    G 
I'm not Republican or Democrat
          B7                     Em 
But I've gone all around this crazy world
         C                      D 
Just to try and better understand

 Em      D/F#       C9 
Yes I do have questions
          Em            D           A 
I get to ask them because I'm free
         C                               G       Em 
That's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines
         C             Dsus      G 
On the bumper of my S - U - V

             D        D/F#   G 
Cause I've been to Hiroshima
           D            D/F#      G 
And I've been to the  D  - M - Z
       B7                     Em 
I've walked on the sand in Baghdad
                  Am7                     D 
Still don't have all of the answers I need

               Em      D/F#         C9 
But I guess I wanna know where she's been
             Em           D            A 
Before she judges and gestures to me
        C                                  G       Em 
Cause she don't like my sticker for the US Marines
        Am7            Dsus      G 
On the bumper of my S - U - V


Break:   G    C    Em    D    C9       G 

    G                         Am7 
So I hope that lady in her mini-van
               C                          G 
Turns on her radio and hears this from me
         G                             Am7 
As she picks up her kids from their private school
                  C                     D 
And drives home safely on our city streets
            C                                 D 
Or to the building where her church group meets
               C                               G       Em 
Yeah, that's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines
        Am7            Dsus      G 
On the bumper of my S - U - V
