chords by:Pablo hernandez, spain
intro: F#m - E - D and then next: e/--0-2-3-2-0-2-
b/--3-3-3-3-3-3-
g/--2-2-2-2-2-2-
F#m   E   D(+tabbed part)
Oh my love, it's a long way we've come
From the freckled hills, to the steel and glass canyons
Am   G   D(+ tabbed part)
From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky
From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye
F#m   E   D(+ tabbed part)
These are the hands that built America
Oh, oh oh, America
F#m   E   D(+ tabbed part)
Last saw your face in a watercolour sky
As sea birds argue, a long goodbye
AmI took your kissG, on Dthe spray of the new land star
You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard
F#mAnd these Eare the Dhands, that built America
Ah, ah ah, America
AmOf alGl of Dthe promises, is this one we could keep
Of all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach
Halle, ole
(this part of tenor voice, i don´t have how is it)
F#mIt's eEarly Dfall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline
Innocence, dragged across a yellow line
F#m   E   D(+tabbed part)
These are the hands that built America
These are the hands that built America
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah America
Oh-la-la-ah-ah America
