  G          G

[Verse 1]
G         C
Some have said, down through history. 
C
If you last it's a mystery. 
      G
But I guess they don't know, 
G                    C
what they're talking about. 
C
From the mountains down to the sea, 
C
you've become such a habit with me. 
G            C
America, America. 
[Verse 2]
C
Well I come from,down round Tennessee. 
C                                 G              C
But the people in California are nice to me.America.
C
It don't matter  where I may roam. 
C
Tell your people that it's home sweet home.
G             C
America, America.
[Chorus]
C      F                                       Am
And my brothers are all black and white,yellow too.
Am                           G                    F
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you.
    G                          F             C   G
You promised and then followed through, America.  
[Verse 2]
G       C
All the men,who fell on the plains 
C
and who lived through hardship and pain. 
G             C
America, America. 
C
And the men who could not fight in a war that didn't seem right.
    G                        C
You let them come home, America.  
[Chorus]
C      F                                       Am
And my brothers are all black and white,yellow too.
Am                           G                    F
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you.
    G                          F             C   G
You promised and then followed through, America.
