************* AMERICA ************
written by Sammy Johns and performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
D
Some have said,done through history
If you last it's a mistery
A D
But i guess they don't know,what they're talking about
D
From the mountains down to the sea
You've become such a habit with me
A D
America,A-merher-ica
Verse 2:
D
Well i come from,down around Tennesee
But the people in California
A D
Are nice to me,A-merher-ica
D
It don't matter where i may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
A D
America,A-merher-ica

Chorus:
G Bm
And my brothers are all black and white,yellow too
A G
And the red man is right,to expect a little from you
A G D
Promise and then follow through,America
Verse 3:
D
And the men,who fell on the planes
And lived,through hardship and pain
A D
America,A-merher-ica
D
And the men who could not fight
In a war that didn't seem right
A D
You let them come home,A-merher-ica
Chorus.
Verse 4:
D
Well i come from,down around Tennesee
But the people in California
A D
Are nice to me,A-merher-ica
D
It don't matter where i may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
A D
America,A-merher-ica
A D
America,A-merher-ica
A D
It's home sweet home,A-merher-ica
A D
America,A-merher-ica
