American Child

Joe Henry & John Denver (klr)

[D] - - [Esus] - [E] - [F] - - [G] - - [A] -

Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka [A]

Up to the [G] land of the [D] Midnight [A] Sun

Where the [G] whale and the polar bear run oer the [F] icy blue [C]

sea

[A] Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka [A]

Up to the [G] north and the [D] pioneer [A] life

Where [G] courage and strength still survive

And a [F] man can be [C] free [D]

[G] American Child does the call of the wild

Ever [F] sing thru the mist of your [C] dreams

Does it [G] fly with the wind when you [Gmaj7] waken [G7] again

When itâs [C] gone do you know what it [D] means

Can you [G] picture the time when a man had to find

His own [F] way through an unbroken [C] land

Be [G] fore the machine changed the [Gmaj7] blue and the [G7] green

To [C] something you canât under [D] stand

[G] American Child theres a burning inside you

That [F] calls you away through the [C] cold

To [G] come back again to [Gmaj7] all that youâve [G7] been

Canât you [C] see that itâs time to come [D] home

To the [G] flowers and trees and the rivers and the seas

And the [F] earth whoâs the mother of [C] all

A [G] promise once made will it [Gmaj7] shine will it [G7] fade

Will we [C] rise with the vision or [A] fall

Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka [A]

Up to the [G] land of the [D] Midnight [A] Sun

Where the [G] whale and the polar bear run oer the [F] icy blue [C]

sea

[A] Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka [A]

Up to the [G] north and the [D] pioneer [A] life

Where [G] courage and strenght still survive

And a [F] man can be [C] free

Men can be [D] free

Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka

Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka

Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka
