How to play:
E C#m F#m
Who’s gonna be there for you 24/7, even holidays?
B E
Our minutemen of today, this department takes no breaks

Who’s gonna stand for justice, running toward the bullets when we call?
B F#m B
They give their lives, risk it all, and we never know their names
A B E C#m
911! It’s an emergency, Wake up! They’re fighting for you & for me
A B
Don’t give up, it’s time we defend & remind them
F#m B A B E
We will always stand beside you — We will back the blue!
E C#m F#m
Who are these men and women dressed up in the line of fire each day
B E
Someone’s dad, someone’s mom, someone’s daughter, someone’s son
E C#m F#m
What makes them fight for strangers, holding up the laws that keep us safe
B F#m B
Keeping peace in our streets, always one phone call away
CHORUS 2 F#m B A B E
We will pray & stand behind you — We will back the blue!
F#m B E C#m
My father always told me show them respect, look in their eye,
F#m B
Shake their hand & say “thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
A B
Thank you for all that you’ve done CHORUS 1
F#m B F#m B
We will always stand beside you We will pray & stand behind you
A B E A B E A B E
We will back the blue! We will back the blue! We will back the blue!
