[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D The sweat of the oxen, the crack of the whip G The wheels turn slow in the dust A And with a heart full of hope, with desire we wrote G A D California or bust
[Chorus]
G A D And we danced the American waltz G A D It couldn't have happened anywhere else G A D We used our muscle and we used our minds Bm G Building a nation, a dream at a time
[Interlude]
D
[Verse 2]
D A horse made of iron that could outrun the wind G Roared into the next century A As the tracks turned to roads, and the crude oil flowed G A D Through the veins of the great Model T
[Chorus]
G A D We danced the American waltz G A D It couldn't have happened anywhere else G A D We used our muscle, we used our minds Bm G Building a nation, a dream at a time
[Interlude]
D
[Verse 3]
D We had the courage and we made the machines G O'er like an eagle we flew A And not long ago God reached out his hand G A D To the man who walked on the moon
[Chorus]
G A D And we danced the American waltz G A D It couldn't have happened anywhere else G A D We used our muscle, we used our minds Bm G Building a nation, (a dream at a time) D N.C. A dream at a time
[Outro]
D F# Bm And the dreams roll on G A D Through the mothers and fathers and children D F# Bm Born on the wings of freedom G D Pass it on, pass it on
