Verse 1
(G major) THE (C major) LAND OF (G major) THE FREE (D major) (G major)
If you go down (D major) to the water,
(G major) And (C major) look out to sea,
There will (G major) see a ship sailing,
Away (C major) on (D major) the breeze;
She is (G major) heading for (D major) America,
(G major) And (C major) that's where (G major) I'll be,
For the (C major) tide it is (G major) turning,
(D major) For this land and me. (G major)
Verse 2
(G major)
There's no end to the darkness,
A (C major) blight on the land,
We are (G major) drowning in hardship,
No (C major) place for a (D major) man;
With a (G major) dream that will take him,
To (C major) where the wind (G major) blows,
I (C major) can't pay the (G major) Middleman,
And (D major) so I must (G major) go.

Verse 3
(D major) heart,
sun (G major) on my back,
There's a (C major) new world that's
waiting for (D major) me;
We've been (C major) praying for a miracle,
And (G major) that's what we'll see, (C major)
when we're (G major) sailing to (C major) America,
The (D major) Land of the Free.
(G major)
Verse 4
There are many there before us,
Who (C major) with open arms, will (G major) give every hope,
To a (C major) man who works (D major) hard;
There'll be (G major) others who hate
us and (C major) do as they (G major) please,
But (C major) anything is (G major) better than
this (D major) place on its (G major) knees.
Verse 5
With (D major) rain in my heart,
sun (G major) on my back,
There's a (C major) new world that's
waiting for (D major) me;
We've been (C major) praying for a miracle,
And (G major) that's what we'll see, (C major)
when we're (G major) sailing to (C major) America,
The (D major) Land of the Free. (G major)
Verse 6
(G major)
There'll (D major) be some (E minor) that will greet (D major) us,
Like (C major) dust in the wind, (G major)
"Go (E minor) back now to where (A major) you
came (D major) from;"
And I'm (E minor) told that they'll
(B minor) treat us like (C major) pigs in a pen. (G major)
So (A minor) I know that I (G major) must (A minor) be strong,
(D major) I must be strong. (G major)

Verse 7
(D major) With rain in my heart, sun (G major) on my back,
To the (C major) new world that's
waiting for (D major) me;
We've been (C major) praying for a miracle,
And (G major) that's what we'll (C major) see,
when we're (G major) sailing to (C major) America,
The (D major) Land of the Free. (E minor)

We'll (D major) be (G major) sailing to (C major) America,
The (D major) Land of the Free, (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
The (D major) Land of the Free.
