Dan Fogelberg – Faces Of America (Guitar)

                 C G
There was a time

               C G
A simpler time 

                                     D      C-D-G
When a man could be sure of where he stood 

                           C G
I used to work at the yard

                        C G
Working honest and hard 

                                     D      C-D-G
The hours were long, but the pay was good 

                           C G
I had a family and friends

                C G
So many friends 

                              D     C-D-G
We'd drive to the lake on holidays 

                            C G
Back then it wasn't so dear

                       C G
For a sandwich or beer 

                                       D     C
At night I still dream I can see their faces 

                          G          C
Certain things that you depend upon 

                            G      C
They were places that you'd known  

                  G
And the faces of America 

   D                 Em
Oh oh, where do they go

               G   C  G  C  G
Where did they go 

                     C G
I was born on a farm

                   C G
A mid-western farm 

                              D     C-D-G
I rode on the tractor with my dad 

                             C G
And though we never had much

                     C G
It was always enough 

                                  D     C-D-G
And we made the best with what we had 

                                   C G
But then came four years of drought

                          C G
And the bottom dropped out 

                               D     C-D-G
My father was broken, like the rest 

                              C G
And I can still see his hands

                       C G
Signing over his lands 

                                             D              C
And the bankers grow fat on the flesh of the dispossessed 

                          G          C
Certain things that you depend upon

                       G    C
There are places I can go

                     G
I sift the ashes of America

        D               Em
For someplace I used to know (someplace I used to know)

    D               C
Someplace I used to know (someplace I used to know)

                    G
Someplace I used to know 

                 C G
There was a time

               C G
A simpler time 

                                     D     C-D-G
When a man could be sure of where he stood 

                           C G
I used to work at the yard

                        C G
Working honest and hard 

                                     D             C
The hours were long, but the pay was oh, so good 

                          G          C
Certain things that you depend upon

                           G      C
I used to think were guaranteed 

                        G
Like the right of every man to work 

                 Em                   C
And feed his family, and feed his family 

                  G        C
And the faces of America

                      G        C
Seem so distant and estranged 

                           G
Have their eyes become too blind to see 

    D                      Em
How much their hearts have changed (how much their hearts have changed) 

                           C
How much their hearts have changed (how much their hearts have changed)

                           G
How much their hearts have changed
