What is America to me
D Cdim A7M C#m5-/7
A name, a map, a flag I see
D Cdim C#m5-/7 F#7
A certain word, "Democracy"
D F#m Bm7 Bm5-/7 E7
What is America to me
Fdim A7M D9 E7/13 A7M
The house I live in a plot of earth, a street,
D9 E7/13 A F#m C Am7 A
The grocer and the butcher, all the people that I meet
D9 E7 A F#m D9 E7 F#m
The children in the playground, the faces that I see
B7 Cdim A F#m Bm5-/7 E7/13 A
All races, and religions that's America to me
Fdim A7M D9 E7/13 A7M
The place I work in, the worker at my side
D9 E7/13 A F#m C Am7 A
The little town or city where my people lived and died
D9 E7 A F#m D9 E7 F#m
The "howdy" and the handshake, the air of feeling free
B7 Cdim A6 A F#m D9 E7/13 A
The right to speak my mind out that's America to me
D9 E A D9 E A
The things I see about me the big things and the small
Em7 A7 D Em7 A7 D
The little corner newsstand and the house a mile tall
C#7 F#m C#7 F#m
The wedding and the churchyard, the laughter and the tears,
E B7 E Edim E7
The dream that's been a growin' for twohundred thirty years
Fdim A7M D9 E7/13 A7M
The town I live in, the street, the house, the room
D9 E7/13 A F#m C Am7 A
The pavement of the city, or a garden all in bloom,
D9 E7 A D9 E7 F#m
The church, the school, the club house, the million lights I see
D9 Fdim A F#m D9 E7 Fdim F#m
But especially the people that's America to me
D9 Fdim A F#m D9 E7 Bm5-/7 D9 Dm6 A
Especially the people that's America to me Last updated:
