From the 2016 album 'A Better World' [Intro] C G D G [Verse 1]
        G                          C
If you go down to the water, and look out to sea

      G                        C           D
There will be a ship sailing, away on the breeze

        G                        C                 G
She is heading for America, and that's where I'll be

         C          G            D           G
For the tide it is turning, for this land in me
[Verse 2]
            G                      C
There's no end to the darkness, a blight on the land

        G                        C           D
We are drowning in hardship, no place for a man

        G                            C              G
With a dream that will take him, to where the wind blows

   C             G         D          G
I can't pay the middleman, so I must go
[Chorus]
      D                 G
With rain in my heart, sun on my back

          C                            D
There's a new world that's waiting for me

            C                          G                 C
We've been praying for a miracle, and that's what we'll see

            C           G           D            G
When we're sailing to America, the land of the free
[Verse 3]
           G                         C
There are many there before us, who with open arms

      G                   C              D
Will give every hope to a man who works hard

              G                      C
There'll be others who hate us, and do as they please

     C           G                D              G
But anything is better than this place on it's knees
[Chorus]
      D                 G
With rain in my heart, sun on my back

          C                             D
There's a new world that's waiting for me

            C                           G                C
We've been praying for a miracle, and that's what we'll see

            G           C           D           G
When we're sailing to America, the land of the free
[Bridge]
             Em             D             C           G
There'll be some that will great us like dust in the wind

     Em          A              D
"Go back now to where you came from"

         Em                D             C         G
And I'm told that they'll treat us like pigs in a pen

   Am                     D                 G      C   G   C   G   D   G
So I know that I must be strong, I must be strong
[Chorus]
      D                 G
With rain in my heart, sun on my back

        C                            D
To the new world that's waiting for me

            C                          G                 C
We've been praying for a miracle, and that's what we'll see

            G          C            D           Em
When we're sailing to America, the land of the free

          G           C           D           G    C   G   C   G
We'll be sailing to America, the land of the free

     D          G
The land of the free...
