American Soul chords by U2

Em
Blessed are the bullies
For one day they will have to stand up to themselves
Em
Blessed are the liars
For the truth can be awkward

(Em  A)

Em
It's not a place
                   A
This country is to me a sound
Em
Of drum and bass
               A              Em
You close your eyes to look around

Em
Look around, look around
Em     A             Em
Look around, it's a sound
        Em
Look around, look around
         A
It's a sound

Em
It's not a place
            A
This country is to me a thought
             G      D
That offers grace
           A              Em
For every welcome that is sought

Em       Bm
You are rock and roll
Em            A
You and I are rock and roll
Em
You are rock and roll
Em
Came here looking for American soul

Em
It's not a place
Em          A
This is a dream the whole world owns
Em
The pilgrim's face
Em           A                 Em
It had your heart to call her home

Em        G
Dream on
 G               A
dreams get me sleepin'

(Bm  D)

Em       Bm
You are rock and roll
Em            A
You and I are rock and roll
Em
You are rock and roll
Em
Came here looking for American soul

(Em  Bm)
