[Intro] Am Em F Am Em G
C                                    Am
Sixty six days on the Mayflower long before the beacon hand

     Dm                                     F          G
Just lookin' for someplace where they could start over again

         C                               Am
And then slowly moving westward planting flags on stolen land

     Dm                              F                     G
Sometimes I sit and wonder what the dream looked like back then

    C                                     Am
Oh  times they keep on changin' different roads and different oceans

    Dm                                   F                   G
She tells me for how far we've come life still seems so damn hard

       C                  Am             F        G
Feeln' broke down on the golden road to unlimited devotion

         Dm                                    F.                   C
Watching satellites and airplane lights weave through these western stars
[Chorus]
                  Am  Em  F             C
Seems we hit the jackpot  baby  you and me

       Dm  Em         F              G         C
We were born in North America in the twentieth century
Am Em F Am Em G x2
          C                                  Am
Send your tired your huddled masses send the homeless and the poor

     Dm                            F                 G
With open arms she offers all this new world can afford

      C                                Am
Now a few hundred years later we still search for something more

      Dm                                   F              G
As we watch the fading lamplight that once lit the golden door

         C                                Am
And as I walk these city streets I feel a stranger in my town

        Dm                             F                G
I don't mind so much the people as the landmarks coming down

    C                 Am               F                 C
Yet still we sleep in comfort with our shelter bread and wine

        Dm                              F             C
Knowing that we're better off than any other place or time
[Chorus]
                  Am  Em  F             C
Seems we hit the jackpot  baby  you and me

       Dm  Em         F              G         C
We were born in North America in the twentieth century
[Solo] Am Em F Am Em G Dm Em F G x2 Am Bm C D
           Em   Bm  C             G
We hit the jackpot  baby  you and me

       Am  Bm         C
We were born in North America

       Am  Bm         C
We were born in North America

       Am  Bm         C              D              G
We were born in North America in the twentieth century
Am Em F Am Em G Am Em F G C
