Verse 1:
                   D
        Some have said, done through history
If you last it's a mistery
               A                                           D
        But I guess they don't know, what they're talking about

                   D
        From the mountains down to the sea
You've become such a habit with me
           A               D
        America, A-merher-ica
Verse 2:
                    D
        Well I come from, down around Tennesee
But the people in California
              A                   D
        Are nice to me, A-merher-ica

                   D
        It don't matter where I may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
           A               D
        America, A-merher-ica
Chorus:
                  G                                   Bm
        And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too

                                       A                 G
        And the red man is right, to expect a little from you

           A                       G          D  A7
        Promise and then follow through, America
Verse 3:
                 D
        And the men, who fell on the planes
And lived, through hardship and pain
           A               D
        America, A-merher-ica

                 D
        And the men who could not fight
In a war that didn't seem right
                A                         D
        You let them come home, A-merher-ica
Chorus:
                  G                                   Bm
        And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too

                                       A                 G
        And the red man is right, to expect a little from you

           A                       G          D A7
        Promise and then follow through, America
Verse 4:
                     D
        Well I come from, down around Tennesee
But the people in California
              A                   D
        Are nice to me, A-merher-ica

                   D
        It don't matter where I may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
           A               D
        America, A-merher-ica

           A               D
        America, A-merher-ica

             A                         D
        It's home sweet home, A-merher-ica

           A               D
        America, A-merher-ica
