Verse 1
(A minor) (G major) (C major) (Dsus4) (D major) What
(E minor) would bring (D major) a young (G major) man
to (C major) rise up (D major) from his (G major) birthplace?
Pack his (C major) life into (D major) a (E minor) suitcase
and set sail (C major) for distant shores?
(Dsus4) An (D major) d (E minor) what would cause (D major)
a (G major) grandma,
after (C major) eighty years (D major) of (G major) living,
to (C major) leave her little (D major) vil (E minor) lage,
not knowing (C major) what may lay in (D major) store? (Dsus4)
(D major) What could (C major) fill the hopeless millions
with (G major) a newly kindled faith
in a (A minor) brighter future
far (G major) across (C major) the waves? (Dsus4) (D major)
I can almost hear them say, America,
(G major) (D major) I hear you (E minor) calling me
Sweet (D minor) land (G major) of (C major) liberty, I'm on my (G major) way
Amer (D major) (C major) ica, (G major) (D major) beckoning with (E minor) open arms
I (D minor) long (G major) to (C major) feel the warmth
of freedom's (D major) flame
God (C major) has given hope (G major) a name, (A minor) America (D major) (G major)
They (E minor) spent the voy (D major) age
crowded
(G major) at the (C major) bottom of (D major) a (G major) steamer
Fighting (C major) famine, fear, (D major) and fever
(E minor) for (C major) six long weeks or (D major) more
The (E minor) children cried (D major) from (G major) hunger
when (C major) mothers went (D major) for ba (G major) bies
Pray (C major) ing they (D major) would make (E minor) it
to (C major) see the other shore
(D major) But the (C major) weariness and worry
must have (G major) melted from their eyes
To be (A minor) hold that lady rising (G major) in (C major) the sky (D major)
Oh, can't you hear them cry
America, (G major) (D major) I hear you (E minor) calling me
Sweet (D minor) land (G major) (C major) of liberty I'm on my (G major) way
(D major) Amer (C major) ica, (G major) beck (D major) oning with (E minor) open arms
I (D minor) long (G major) to (C major) feel the warmth
of freedom's (Dsus4) flame
(D major) God (C major) has given hope (G major) a name, (A minor)
Amer (Dsus4) ica (D major) (G major)
So I (D major) will not take for granted
this (C major) life I'm blessed to lead
(G major) Or (D major) the (E minor) ones who sacrificed so much
to (C sharpdim) hand it down to me
Cause (C major) not so long ago, (D major)
this land I call (B major) home
was just a (E minor) dream
Of (F major) little masses yearn (C major) ing to be (D major) free
America, (G major) (D major) may God keep (E minor) you in His hand
Keep (D minor) you (G major) strong (C major) and help you stand
This I (G major) pray (D major) (C major) America (G major)
Hold (D major) high your (E minor) splendid torch
(D minor) Let the (G major) whole world (C major) feel the warmth
Of freedom's (D major) flame
God (C major) has given (G major) hope in (A minor) the name
of (G major) America
