F Dm C Bb F (2x)

Verse 1

F        Dm       C           Bb

America, america, my dad sure believed in you

    F                                  C

said, "a man's gotta do what he's gotta do"

F                      Dm            C                    F             

got his degree at your diploma barn, he was the first kid off the farm

     Bb                           C

gonna change the world with chemistry.

      F    C     Bb          F   C   Bb             F Dm C Am Bb C

But I know he'll do what you ask him to, for america.

Buy a new house with a tailored front yard, run up all the credit cards,

there's more where that came from - it's a cinchI knew by the age of six

I'd never make a scientist when I saw the price you paid in their

trenches.

But I know he'll do what you ask him to, for america.

They cut the mornings of your sacred ship, pushed her out and they let

her drift then the business wind changed unannounced. Brought a new

friend home to watch tv, to help ya' deal with the anxiety she measured

out her love in ounces yea, I've seen you do what she asked you to, for

america.

I remember standing 'round in a vacant corner of some play ground hoping

we would get you back dying to make contact...contact...contactwith

america

And now I struggle to pretend and fill the gaping holes in remember all

you did. Looking back to take inventory to put the best construction on

the story and I'm now writing for my kids. 'Cause I know you'll do what

they ask you to, for america.

America, America, God shed your grace in his lonely heart this evening.

And if he falls asleep tonight, gather him and hold him tight and help me

with this grieving. 'Cause I know he'd do what you ask him to, I salute

you.
