Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

AMERICAN LAND

G+G               C majorC       G+G
What is this land of America, so many travel there
G+G                    C majorC        D MajorD
I'm going now while I'm still young, my darling meet me there
G+G               C majorC         D MajorD
Wish me luck my lovely, I'll send for you when I can
     G+G    C majorC      D MajorD    G+G      G+G / C majorC / D MajorD / G+G
And we'll make our home in the American land

G+G               C majorC            G+G
Over there all the woman wear silk and satin to their knees
G+G                             D MajorD
And children dear, the sweets, I hear, are growing on the trees
G+G                          D MajorD
Gold comes rushing out the river straight into your hands
    G+G     C majorC      D MajorD    G+G      G+G / C majorC / D MajorD / G+G
If you make your home in the American land

G+G                 C majorC            G+G
There's diamonds in the sidewalks, there's gutters lined in song
G+G                             D MajorD
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
G+G                           D MajorD
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
    G+G    C majorC      D MajorD    G+G      G+G / C majorC / D MajorD / G+G
Who’ll make his home in the American land

G+G    C majorC   G+G   G+G   D MajorD   G+G   D MajorD   G+G / C majorC / D MajorD / G+G

G+G               C majorC         G+G
I docked at Ellis Island in a city of light and spire
G+G                       D MajorD
I wandered to the valley of red-hot steel and fire
G+G                                 D MajorD
We made the steel that built the cities with the sweat of our two hands
  G+G    C majorC      D MajorD    G+G      G+G / C majorC / D MajorD / G+G
And made our home in the American land

G+G                 C majorC            G+G
There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in song
G+G                             D MajorD
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
G+G                           D MajorD
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
     G+G    C majorC      D MajorD    G+G      G+G / C majorC / D MajorD / G+G
Who will make his home in the American land

C majorC    G+G   C majorC   C majorC   D MajorD   C majorC   G+G   G+G / C majorC / D MajorD / G+G

G+G              C majorC           G+G
McNicholas, the Posalski's, the Smiths, the Zurrilis too
G+G                          D MajorD
The Blacks, the Irish, Italians, the Germans and the Jews
G+G                    D MajorD
Come across the water a 1000 miles from home
   G+G        C majorC       D MajorD     G+G
with nothing in their bellies and a fire down below

G+G                 C majorC          G+G
They died building the railroads, worked to bones and skin
G+G                               D MajorD
They died in the fields and factories, names scattered in the wind
G+G                            D MajorD
They died to get here a hundred years ago, they're dyin' now
  G+G              C majorC     D MajorD       G+G
The hands that built the country we're all trying to keep down

G+G                 C majorC            G+G
There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in song
G+G                             D MajorD
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
G+G                           D MajorD
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
     G+G    C majorC      D MajorD    G+G
Who will make his home in the American land (3 times)
