[Verse]
D* D*
Some have said, down through history
D* D*
If you last it's a mystery
A D
But I guess that they don't know what they're talking about
D* D*
From the mountains down to the sea
D* D*
You've become such a habit to me
A D
America, Amer-ica
[Verse]
D* D*
Well I come from, down ‘round Tennessee
D* D*
But the people in California
A D
Are nice to me, A-mer-ica
D* D*
And no matter how far you roam
D* D*
Tell your people this is home sweet home
A D
America, Amer-ica
[Chorus]
G Bm
And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
A G
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
A G D
Promise and then follow through, America
[Verse]
D* D*
All the men, who fell down in their planes
D* D*
And who lived, through such hardship and pain
A D
For America, A mer-ica
D* D*
And the man who could not fight
D* D*
In a war that didn't seem right
A D
Let him come home, A-mer-ica
A D
Let him come home, A-mer-ica
[Chorus]
G Bm
And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
A G
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
A G D
Promise and then follow through, America
[Verse]
D* D*
All the men, who fell down in their planes
D* D*
And who lived, through such hardship and pain
A D
For America, A mer-ica
D* D*
And the man who could not fight
D* D*
In a war that didn't seem right
A D
Let him come home, A-mer-ica
A D
His seeds are sown, A-mer-ica
