VERSE:
 Eb MajorEb                       FF
Harbours open their arms to the young searching foreigner
 Eb MajorEb                     FF
Come to live in the light of the beacon of liberty
 Bb majorBb
Plains and open skies
 A minorAm          DmDm
Billboards would advertise
    FF       G minorGm  C majorC     FF
Was it anything like that when you arrived?


PRE-CHORUS:
 C minorCm                       FF
Dream boats carried the future to the heart of America
 C minorCm                   FF
People were waiting in line for a place by the river

Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear
     A minorAm     D MajorD
It was a sweeter tune
       Bb majorBb   Bb majorBb BbmBbm
And there was so much ro-om

Now he arrives with his hopes and his heart set on miracles
 Eb MajorEb                       FF
Come to marry his fortune with a hand full of promises
  Bb majorBb
To find they've closed the door
      A minorAm     DmDm
They don't want him anymore
    G minorGm    Bb majorBb      FF
There isn't any more to go around

PRE-CHORUS:
 C minorCm                    FF
Turning away he remembers he once heard a 🏷Legend
   C minorCm                    FF
That spoke of a mystical magical land called America


CHORUS:
 FF           A minorAm          G minorGm Bb majorBb
