Verse 1:
D
Some have said, done through historyIf 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 TenneseeBut 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 planesAnd 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 TenneseeBut 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
