America Will Survive (Almeria version)

This is the version on the new CD, The Almeria Club.

Drop D tuning

D C(add9)

People think we're nearing the end of time,

G/D D

But we've had enough and we've drawn the line.

D C(add9)

Our flag is up, since our people went down

G/D D

But now we're united from the country to the town.

D C(add9)

We live back in the woods you see,

G/D D Fill*1

Big city problems never bothered me.

D C(add9)

But the world has changed, and so have I,

G/D D

And America can survive.

C(add9) G/D D Fill*2

America will survive.

D C(add9)

We can plow our fields all day long,

G/D D

We can catch our fish from dusk 'til dawn.

D C(add9)

Yea we have toughed it out a time or two,

G/D D

These are dark days but we're gonna pull through.

D C(add9)

We grow good ole tomatoes, we got hometown pride,

G/D D

And America can survive.

C(add9) G/D D Fill*1

America is gonna survive.

G

Oh, you can't scare us out, you can't make us run,

Women, boys and girls with freedom and fun.

F C

We say grace, we say ma'am, if you don't like that,

G Fill*2

We don't give a damn.

D C(add9)

We came from the West Virginia coal mines,

G/D D Fill*1

And the Rocky Mountains and the big city skylines.

D C(add9)

hey we can hit back and we're gonna be fine,

G/D D

'Cause this ole country can survive.

C(add9) G/D D Fill*2

America can survive.

D C(add9)

I had a good friend in New York city,

G/D D Fill*3

He never called me by my name, called me hillbilly.

D C(add9)

My grandpa taught me how to live of the land,

G/D D Fill*1

His taught him to be a street smart man.

D C(add9)

He used to send me pictures of the Broadway lights,

G/D D

And I'd send him some that homemade scufflin' wine

D C(add9)

He was lost like so many in the terrible strife,

G/D D

And we're all asking God now, why oh why?

D C(add9)

I read a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye,

G/D D

That's an old slogan we're gonna revive,

C(add9) G/D D

'Cause America can survive,

C(add9) G/D D

America will survive.

G F

Cause, you can't scare us out, you can't make 'em run,

C G

What we got here is freedom and fun.

F C

We say grace, we say ma'am, if they don't like that,

G Fill*2

We give less than a damn.

D C(add9)

We're from North California and South Alabam',

G/D D

And all they've done is unite the whole land.

D C(add9)

There's no more Yankees and Rebels this time,

G/D D

But one united people that stand behind,

C(add9) G/D D

America can survive.

C(add9) G/D D

America will survive.

C(add9) D

America can survive.

C(add9) G/D D C(add9) G/D D

America will survive.
