SONG FOR SAM COOKE
(HERE IN AMERICA)
DION ft. PAUL SIMON
INTRO:
G Em G Em
VERSE:
G Em We traveled this land back in nineteen sixty-two G Em We played the places that were home to me and you G Em We drove to Memphis, we rocked a set G Em We walked the streets at night and smoked a cigarette
CHORUS:
C Cmaj7 Here in America Cmaj7 Em Heeeeeeere in America Am Am7 There was so much I didn't know D About the way that life could go Em Em Here in America
VERSE:
G Em Down the block I saw the people stop and stare G Em You did your best to make a Yankee boy aware G Em I never thought about the color of your skin G Em I never worried 'bout the hotel I was in
CHORUS:
C Cmaj7 Here in America (Woh oh woh oh) Cmaj7 Em Heeeeeeere in America (In America) Am Am7 But the places I could stay D They all made you walk away Em Em Here in America
G Em G Em
VERSE:
G Em You were the man who earned the glory and the fame G Em But cowards felt that they could call you any name G Em You were the star, standing in the light G Em That won you nothing on a city street at night
CHORUS:
C Cmaj7 Here in America Cmaj7 Em Em Heeeeeeere in America Am Am7 You were told that we were free D This land is made for you and me Em Em Em Em Here in America
VERSE:
G Em You stayed more steady than a backbeat on a drum G Em You told me you believed a change was gonna come G Em You sang for freedom but lived life free G Em I saw it in your smile and in your dignity
CHORUS:
C Cmaj7 Here in America Cmaj7 Em Em Heeeeeeere in America Am Am7 A preacher's kid you'll always be D Singing the truth to set us free Em Em Here in America Em Em Em Em Here in America
VERSE:
G Em You were a star when you were standing on a stage G Em I look back on it, I feel a burning rage G Em You sang "You Send Me", I sang "I Wonder Why" G Em I still wonder, you were way too young to die
CHORUS:
C Cmaj7 Here in America (ooooh, ooh ooh oooooh ooh) Em Em Here in America Am Am7 Hey, Sam, I wish that you were near D I wish that you were here
OUTRO:
Em Em Here in America C D Here in America Em Em America C D In America Em Em Here in America
