Chords

#1# To play chords as they sound in the song YOU MUST TUNE your guitar ONE WHOLE TONE DOWN "D G C F A d" otherwise, you can't really play a so low D5 chord. #2# On the A6 chord it would be more precise to play A6(9) [Intro]

[Verse 1]
B5                 B5      B5    A5
  Was it the way that she looked at me

A5       A5    E5
She had caught my eye

E5     E5  G5   G5
  She stole my heart she freed my mind

B5                 B5     B5 A5
  The way we loved it was magical

 A5    A5 E5
Truly wonderful

E5     E5  G5  G5     A5    A5
It was me and you so beautiful

B5             B5      B5   A5
  And I know that you feel this too

 A5       A5    E5
Will our dreams come true

E5   E5   G5
I believe in you (I believe in you)

B5                B5   B5 A5
  Show me the way to my better days

 A5       A5    E5
What's the price to pay

E5  E5
If I follow you?
[Chorus]
    B5      A6
America, America

                  B5

                  GM7             E5

[Verse 2]
B5                 B5      B5    A5
  I trust in you still you walk away

A5       A5   E5
You just ran away

E5   E5 G5
I thought our love would never change

B5                 B5    B5   A5
  The way you move had me hypnotized

A5   A5    E5
Now I realize

E5   E5  G5  G5     A5    A5
I fell again the same old lies
[Rap]
B5                             B5
 Plans you change the present rearranged

B5      A5                                 A5
If we don't know the path to the future we can't attain

A5     E5                     E5         E5
So I maintain, dealt my hands so I deal with it

 G5
Know what is truth myself, I stay (real with it)
[Chorus]
    B5      A6
