EI wanna see the stAates
EI wanna see the stBates
EFrom the foggy Golden Gate Bto the great Michigan lakes
EI wanna sBee the stAates
EOh, how did you gAet to this town?
EWas it where you were born or dBid you move around?
ECalifornia's got plAaces down south
We can lBay in the sun on A#the bAeach
EDrive up the OrAegon coast
EIts rocky and lighthouses dBot it for most C#mof the way
C#mThrough to Washington cascading snow
        E*                        B  A  
On the tips of Olympian peaks
ENorth to Alaska and Bwe had no fear
C#mWe were on to the future, the fiDnal frontier
GWhile in Hawaii they're proCbably righteously
BSurfing the worlds greatest breaks
EBut oh, AI- dEaho
AHas got the mEost
BRe- speC#mctable
BFolks we know
AWe'll follow the Rockies and neEver stop roaming
C#mThrough Colorado, MonBtana, Wyoming
F#mDown in New MeBxico, we're eAbmating green cC#mhilies
AWe'll hit the slopes up in PBark City, UAtah
EWell, I wanna see the stAates
EI wanna see the stBates
EFrom Nevada's Vegas strange Bto the wicked pines of Maine
EI wanna sBee the stAates
EDeep down in Texas, thAere's bright starry skies
EOklahomians all reaBlize
AbmThat the sun never sets we're just spiC#mnning around
ASpun up to Kansas and clBung to the ground
ESlipped off the great plain to SoutAhern Missouri
EA creek and a sunset with Bno need to hurry
AbmJust lazily drifting the gC#mreat Mississippi
AThrough Tennessee, Arkansas and KeBntucky
EDown to the bayous of LouF#misiana
AGlowing fireflies dBown in Alabama
AbmLit up your face like you're C#mnext to the moon
ASouth Carolina, we'll be getBting there soon
EBut O- Ahi- Eo
AHas got the mEost
BFest- iC#mvals
BAnd swing votes
ASpan Indiana right oEver the crossroads
C#mIn Illinois we had dBeep dish and hot dogs
F#mCornhuskers score a NeAbmbraskan point and I
AHear some music from dowBntown Des Moines IAowa
EAnd I wanna see the stAates 
EI wanna see the stBates
EFrom Florida's southern cays to the DelBaware tax rates
EI wanna sBee the stAates
EI wanna dip my feet into the sAand
EI wanna dive into the Rio GrBande
EFrom the tall Virginian trees tBo a sultry Georgian breeze
EI wanna sBee the lAand
EFall in New Hampshire we stopped by the woods
EWith paid parking meters by roBgue Robin Hoods
AbmFreedom and unity C#mo'er in Vermont
AThere's hope in Rhode Island to lBive how we want
ESo live how you like but I lAove Massachusetts
ENew York's got plBaces where Awe can get loose
AbmIt's like everything you ever wC#manted at once
AWe'll go upstate, and we can sBtay there for months
EWe'll cut through the forests to HaArtford, Connecticut
C#mCan't help but lBove famous NAew Jersey etiquette
AbmO'er in DC on the CaC#mpitol Hill
AHistoric decisions are beBing made still
EThe West Virginian mountains are wAild and wonderful
ENorth Carolina where auBtumn is colorful
AbmCrabbing in Maryland, hC#moagies in Harrisburg
APennsylvania declBared us AmeArica
AbmBut it's Afar
AbmIt's farA  
AbmIt's far
AYeah, it's far bBetween them
AbmBut take it form me
AIt's worth all the long car rides to sBee them
AbmJust wait till you see YosAemite or New EnBgland
F#mThey'll make you believe in Abmlife, liberty, and frBeedomA  
EWell, I wanna see the stAates
EI wanna see the stBates
EFrom the lakes of Minnesota Bto the North and South Dakota
EI wanna sBee the stAates
EI wanna dip my feet into the sAand
EI wanna dive into the Rio GrBande
EFrom the Arizona desert to WiscBonsin's snowy weather
EI wanna sBee the lAand
EI wanna sBee the lAand
