A A A G
D D D D
[Pre-Chorus]
D G
A wise man was telling stories to me
A G D
about the places he had been to and the things that had seen
[Chorus]
D G
A quiet voice is singing something to me
A G D
An age old song 'bout the home of the brave in this land here of the free,
G A D
One time one night in America
[Verse 1]
D
A lady dressed in white with the man she loves
G
Standing along the side of their pick up truck
D G
A shot rang out in the night
D G
Just when everything seemed right
D A D
Another headline written down in America
[Verse 2]
D
The guy that lived next door in three o five
G
took the kids to the park and disappeared 'bout half past nine
D G D G
Who will ever know how much she loved them so
D A D
That dark night alone in America
[Chorus]

A quiet voice is singing something to me
A G D
An age old song 'bout the brave in this land here of the free,
G A D
One time one night in America
[Verse 3]
D
Four small boys playing ball in the parking lot
G
A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop
D G
A car skidded into the rain
D G
Making the last little one a saint
D A D
One more light goes out in America
[Verse 4]
D
A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well
G
She hopes for a heaven while for her there's just this hell
D G D G
She gave away her life to become somebody's wife
D A D
Another wish unanswered in America
[Bridge]
A
People having so much faith
G D
Die too soon while all the rest come late
A
We write a song that no one sings
G A
On a cold black stone where a lasting peace will finally bring
[Solo]
A A G
D D D D
D D D G
A A G D
A D D
[Verse 5]
D
The sunlight plays upon my window pane
G
I wake up to a world that's still the same
D G
My father said to be strong
D G
That a good man could never do wrong
D A D
In a dream I had last night in America
[Pre-Chorus]
D G
A wise man was telling stories to me
A G D
about the places he had been to and the things that had seen
[Chorus]
D G
A quiet voice is singing something to me
A G D
An age old song 'bout the brave in this land here of the free,
G A D
One time one night in America
D G A
One time one night in America
D G A
One time one night in America
[Outro]
