My Country chords by Randy Newman

Guitar chords with lyrics

Am
Let's go back to yesterday, when a phone call cost a dime.
                       F
in New Orleans, just a nickel.
C
Turn back the hands of time.
C
Turn back the hands of time.

Am
Picture a room with a window, a sofa and some chairs,
C
a television turned on for the night.
Am
Picture a woman, two children seated, a man lying there,
      C
their faces softly glowing in the light.
Am
This is my country, these are my people.
C

This is the world I understand.
Am
This is my country, these are my people.
C
And I know 'em like the back of my own hand.

      Am
If we had something to say we'd bounce it off the screen
        C
we were watching and we couldn't look away.
       Am
We all know what we look like, you know what I mean?
      C
We wouldn't have had it any other way.
       C
We got comedy, tragedy. Ev'rything from A to B,
          F
watching other people living, seeing other people play.
       G
Having other people's voices fill our minds.
G
Thank you, Jesus.
Am
Feelings might go unexpressed.
C
I think that's prob'ly for the best.
        G
Dig too deep, who knows what you will find.

Am
This is my country, those were my people.
C
Their's was the world I understand.
Am
Picture a room, no window, a door that leads outside,
C
a man lying on a blanket on the floor.
Am
Picture his three grown boys behind him, bouncing words off a screen,
C
of a television big as all outdoors.

         Am
Now your children are your children, even when they're grown.
   C
When they speak to you, you got to listen to what they have to say.
         Am
But they all live alone now, they have TVs of their own
         C
but they keep on coming over anyway.
    C
And much as I love them, I'm always kind of glad when they go away.

Am
This is my country, these are my people.
C
This is the world I understand.
Am
This is my country, these are my people.
      C
And I know 'em like the back of my own hand.
C
I know 'em like the back of my own hand.
