Intro
G G C G
G
We were poor
G
But I was satisfied
C G
And I thought that you were, too
G
You were pure
G
And I was terrified
C G
I wasn't good enough for you
G
When they sailed
G
Into the harbour
C G
I could see it in your eyes
G
I knew
Em
That you were dreaming
C G
Of leaving me behind
Chorus

You say "America is beautiful"
D Em
And I sure hope you're right
D G
If I could see you across the water
C D Em
I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"
C D G
I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"

That Yankee sailor

In the moment

In the measure of a man

And left me standing

And he asked you out to dance
G
But when you met

That Yankee sailor

I knew I didn't stand a chance
