A Bm E A C#m F#m
It's fine to see the old world and travel up and down
D E A
Among the famous palaces and cities of renown
Bm E A C#m F#m
To admire crumbling castles and the statues of the kings
D E A
But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things
Bm E A C#m F#m
So it's home home again America for me
D E A
My heart is turning home again it's where I want to be
Bm E A C#m F#m
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean wide
D E A
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag full of stars
Bm E A C#m F#m
Oh London is a man's town there's power in the air
D E A
And Paris is a woman's town with flowers in her hair
Bm E A C#m F#m
And it's sweet to dream in Venice it's great to study Rome
D E A
But when it comes to living there's no place like home
Bm E A C#m F#m^?
So it's home home again America for me
D E A
My heart is turning home again it's where I want to be
Bm E A C#m F#m
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean wide
D E A
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag full of stars
Bm E A C#m F#m
I know Europe's wonderful yet something seems to lack
D E A
The past is too much with her and the people looking back
Bm E A C#m F#m
Oh the glory of the present is to make the future free
D E A
We love our land for what she is and what she is to be
Bm E A C#m F#m
So it's home home again America for me
D E A
My heart is turning home again it's where I want to be
Bm E A C#m F#m
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the oceans green
D E A
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag full of stars
Unreleased song performed in the early 80's
