Tom: Dm E Am E Am [Verse 1] Am G We said we'd build a bridge for man in the land our fathers earned. F E And the wars we faught were smaller then but the bridges still got burned. F G And the poor mans dreams got broken by a wheel he never turned E Am G F E We just.. took him along for the ride. [Verse 2] Am G We said we'd save the best we found for the yearning in our minds. F E But we took what we called hallowed ground and we left the best behind F G for the gold of California in another place to find E Am And we.. all went along for the ride. [Chorus] C G Well America I love you and I'm glad you caught the train F E but you left a lot of homeless people waiting in the rain F C Hear the voices of the children when they cry E Am G F E Take me along for the ride [Verse 3] Am G We said that we'd remember that the old folks still belong F E and the twisted, and the broken, help to sing the battle song F G and the place that we discovered was a dream they brought along E Am G F E and we.. took them along for the ride. [verse 4] Am G We said we'd bould a better place, to live untile we die. F E with a shield against disaster, that would leave a man his pride F G but because we fear our neighbors we have lost it all and lied E Am and we, all go along for the ride.
