Chords with lyrics
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
I?ve traveled all around this country
G7G7 C majorC
In my time I thought I?d seen it all
FF G7G7 A minorAm G7G7
But today I took a detour down a back-road
D7D7 G7G7
Through a little town whose name I can?t recall
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
There were old men on benches playing checkers
G7G7 C majorC
Children playing hopscotch on the square
FF G7G7 A minorAm FF
And high above a statue of an unknown soldier
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Old Glory was waving in the air
A minorAm FF C majorC
Suddenly I realized what I?d too long forgotten
A minorAm FF G7G7
A augmentedA chill rose up like mountains on my skin
A minorAm FF C majorC FF
Overcome with the feeling I knew I was seeing
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
America all over again
FF G7G7
A?"mer-icana
FF G7G7 C majorC
Pictures of a people proud and free
A minorAm FF D7D7 G7G7 A minorAm G7G7
A?"m-ericana I?ll keep holding to the dream
FF G7G7 C majorC
You?re still what living means to me
G7G7 C majorC
I knew to stop would throw me off my schedule
G7G7 C majorC
But I parked around behind the Five and Dime
FF G7G7 A minorAm G7G7
There?s something bout a small town in the summer
D7D7 G7G7
Like a Norman Rockwell picture back in time
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Kids were courting at the Rexall soda fountain
G7G7 C majorC
Like we did before they built the shopping mall
FF G7G7 A minorAm FF
I saw so many reasons why I love this country
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
You know some things never really change at all
A minorAm FF C majorC
As I left the 2 lane road and pulled back on that superhighway
A minorAm FF G7G7
I thought of what I?d seen back in that town
A minorAm FF
And it hit me like a freight train
C majorC FF
That a stones throw from the fast lane
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
America is still safe and sound
FF G7G7
A?"mer-icana
FF G7G7 C majorC
Pictures of a people proud and free
C majorC A minorAm FF D7D7 G7G7 A minorAm G7G7
A?"m-ericana, I?ll keep holding to the dream
FF G7G7 C majorC
You?re still what living means to me
