D                          G
        By your way,i've often traveled
      A                      D
        Magic mother of the pearl
                                  G
        Watched your mysteries unravel
      A                          D
        While each foamy wave uncurled
                                       G
        Neath' my soles the sands of freedom
      A                           D
        Fertile valleys,moutains high
                                  G
        Blistered by the blazing sunshine
      A                            D
        Mellowed by the moonlight night

[Chorus]
      D                        G
        Mighty measure of the Maker
      A                       D
        With your open arms unfurled
                            G
        America,you are my woman
      A                     D
        America,you are my world

[Verse 2]
      D                               G
        Many worlds and dreams i've traveled
      A                             D
        Sliding softly through the night
                                       G
        Scanned through silicones and cycles
      A                            D
        Mirrored low your emerald life
                                 G
        When my days on earth return to
      A                            D
        Dust from whence my body weighs
                                   G
        Will my soul could always carry
      A                                     D
        Where the Saint's first flight was made
