 What was I thinking of when I wrote this?
 Here's Patriot, pay no attention to that other song above..=)

  D                 G  
And the rivers shall open for the righteous  (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
        D     G         D       G 
I went walking, with my brother
        D     G           A   G
And he wondered, oh, how I am
   :
   :
   :
        D    G                D       G 
I am a patriot, and I love my country
   :
   :
   :
               D        G                D        G 
And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no capitalist, and I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat, I sure ain't no republican either
                D     G            D     G  D     G     A
I only know one party, and that is freedom, I am, I am, I am

 Okey this should be more like it.........

 Pearl Jam, Patriot (Steve Van Zandt cover) 

 The sun was out. Had some money. Cruised into town. Got myself a bootleg
 and some food. Went home. Played it. And there was this song on it, which
 had something to it.    
                                  Martin.
  D                 A  
And the rivers shall open for the righteous  (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
        D     A         D       A 
I went walking, with my brother
        D     A           G   A
And he wondered, oh, how I am
Said what I believe with my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And there's no turning back this time
        D    A                D       A 
I am a patriot, and I love my country
           D      A        G     A       
Because my country is all I know
I wanna be with my family
People who understand me
I got no place else to go...I am a patriot...

I went walking, with my girlfriend
She looked so fine, I said baby what's on your mind
She said I wanna run like the lions
Released from their cages
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...I am a patriot...
               D        A                D        A 
And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no capitalist, and I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat, I sure ain't no republican either
                D     A            D     A  D     G     A
I only know one party, and that is freedom, I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know

And the rivers shall open for the righteous  (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
Someday, someday, someday...

  Feel free to write me.   Sunde@fys.ku.dk

Pearl Jams Ed Vedder- i am patriot
Taking a break from his duties as Eddie Vedder singer of the rock musical group Pearl Jam, Ed Vedder performs "patriot " for a bunch of granolas at a Ralph Nader rally in 2000. In later years Vedder would only perform "stab in the back" for his once dear friend Nader. So sad. That poor old man never hurt anybody. He deserved better
