America

I write politico mumbo-jumbo too. This United States while still be frustrated where it appears the country was heading. As I wrote it in 2004 it seems as though I might have been right at the time.

AMERICA

(G)
[America]
(D)
You made me cry
(G)
[America]
(D)
You've made me sigh
(G)(D)
Are you really what you were made to be
(G)
[America]
(D)
please don't hurt me

[America]
Don't forget my pride
[America]
Don't you forget why
Don't forget where you've been before
[America]
Don't do this anymore

{Chorus}
(G)(D)
America, you've made me smile
(G)(D)
America, my mother and child
(G)(D)
How will we remember you
(G)(D)
America, I love you too

[America]
what are you to be
[America]
will you stay free
don't anger God and don't anger man
[America]
What is your plan

[America]
I still salute you
[America]
Though you've put me through
emotions I never knew I had
[America]
Don't make me so sad

{repeat chorus}

Note: Played with capo on the second fret - not quite Dylan or Cohen, not nearly Creedence.
