[Intro]
G

[Verse]
        C         G
We were raised by wolves
    C            F
and we are still wild
       F             Am            G
and we howl when the troubled wind blows
           C         G
And in the tv's blue light
     C            F
Oh assassins will lie
      F            Am         G
every wail just-a going down slow

[Chorus]
    F             Am
So don't tread on me
    G         C
for I am your brother
      F            Am       G
I was born with an American heart

    F              Am
And don't tread on her
    G           C
for she is your sister
        F            Am       G
she was born with an American heart

[Verse]
            C          G
And all the people you meet
C           F
down in the streets
       F             Am          G
may be good but they don't wanna know
        C           G
So they cover their eyes
        C           F
for who wants to be sad
        F            Am            G
life is sweet at the bottom of the sea

[Chorus]
    F             Am
So don't tread on me
    G         C
for I am your brother
      F            Am       G
I was born with an American heart

    F              Am
And don't tread on her
    G           C
for she is your sister
        F            Am       G
she was born with an American heart


(Harmonica solo)

[Verse]
        C            G
And the mothers will cry
        C           F
fathers stay up all night
         F          Am          G
with the worry that goes to the bones
            C         G
And if your god makes war
          C        F
then he's no god I know
        F               Am           G
cause' Christ would not send boys to die

 [Chorus]
    F             Am
So don't tread on me
    G         C
for I am your brother
      F            Am         G
I was born with an American heart

    F              Am
And don't tread on her
    G           C
for she is your sister
        F            Am       G
she was born with an American heart

[Verse]
          C          G
Don't you get low as hell
         C             F
when the peace dove is filled
     F            Am          G
by a man with the blackest of minds
     C        G
And above the din
         C         F
let the sighing begin
         F             Am         G
as we're bound for the longest of days

[Chorus]
    F             Am
So don't tread on me
    G         C
for I am your brother
      F            Am       G
I was born with an American heart

    F              Am
And don't tread on her
    G           C
for she is your sister
        F            Am       G
she was born with an American heart
