G
C
G
Little
C
F
Elba, how's the sun in
South
America?
C
Am
Does it shine upon
E
the faces of the poor?
F
G
They see in it the brilliance of
C
Am
the place that's been prepared
F
G
and dwell upon the hope
C
of what's in store?
F
Or are they just like me?
C
F
C
F
Do they only see an opportunity
C
F
G
to complain about the heat?
And little
C
F
El ba, how's the rain in
South
C
America?
Am
E
Does it fall upon the rooftops of the sick?
F
Do they thank the
G
C
Lord for coming up with such a great idea
Am
F
G
C
And dream about a place beyond all this?
F
C
Or are they just like us?
F
C
Do they gripe and fuss about the
F
C
rain and mud
F
G
When they've had too much?
C
Cause I'm just a little jealous
G
F
C
Of the nothing that you have
G
F
C
You're unfettered by the wealth of
G
F
G
Of a world that we pretend is gonna last
C
Well I'm weary of the
F
C
spoils of my ambition
Am
And I'm shackled by the
E
comfort of my couch
F
G
Well, I wish I had the courage
C
Am
to deny these of myself
F
G
C
Start to store my treasure in the clouds
F
C
F
Cause this is not my home, I do not belong
C
F
C
F
G
Where the antelope and the buffalo roam
C
No, no, and I'm just a little jealous
G
F
C
G
Of the nothing that you have
F
C
You're unfettered by the wealth of
G
F
G
Of a world that we pretend is gonna last
They say
F
God's blessed us with plenty
Am
G
F
But I say you're blessed with poverty
Am
G
F
Because you never stop
to wonder whether
Am
Earth is just a little better
F
G
than the land of the
C
F
G
free.
C
F
So I hope you're safe and dry in
South
C
Am
America, because I'm feeling
pretty good in
Tennessee.
E
F
G
But may you never be so happy that
C
Am
you forget about your home
F
G
C
Your home in the land of the free
