Verse 1
Am 
Jumped
I was a refugee
who lived outside of town
F 
Family in a burial shack,
G 
better than run down
Am 
Had a friend from America,
helped out, we took him in
F 
Like my brother he disappeared,
G 
Am 
said it was with him, oh yeah
There we were far out at sea
and somehow we got lost
F 
Then we landed hard on shore,
G 
there upon the rocks
Am 
While cel ebration shook the air
we turned to hear some shots
F 
The ones that have been here
far too long
G 
F 
think they lost the plot, oh yeah
G 
Here I go again,
Am 
G 
leaving things out
F 
while I'm leaving things in
G 
Where, where should I  begin?
Am 
I'm feeling so full,
E 
I'm feeling so thin, yeah
Am 
G 
Am 
Call it America
F 
Man, I know you're out there
G 
Sister, are you breathing?
Am 
G 
Am 
Call it America
F 
This thing they call America
G 
Am 
Really is a dream, oh yeah
Then I stood there face to face
with a girl that I once knew
F 
She was dressed in gingham there,
G 
and colors red, white, and blue
Am 
The more I spoke, the less she heard,
then she slipped away
F 
I just stood there
G 
F 
sinking far beneath the waves, oh yeah
G 
Here we go again,
Am 
G 
leaving things out
F 
while we're leaving things in
G 
Where, where should we begin?
Am 
E 
Feeling so full, feeling so thin, yeah
Am
