I look out and I see a land,

young and lovely, hard and strong.

For fifty thousand years we’ve danced her praises,
F
prayed our thanks and we’ve just begun
[VERSE]

This this is my country,
EbBbCmF
young and growing and free and flowing.

Sea to sea, yes, this is my country,
EbBbCmFBb
ripe and bearing miracles in every pond and tree.

Her spirit walks the high country,
EbBb
giving free wild samples,
CmFBb
and setting an example how to give.

Yes, this is my country,

retching and turning, like a baby learning how to live.

I can stand upon a hill at dawn
EBEB
look all around me, feel her surround me

Soldier blue, soldier blue,

can’t you see that there’s another way to love her.

Yes, this is my country,

I sprang from her, and I’m learning how to count upon her

tall trees and the corn is my country,

I guess I love her, and I’m learning how to take care of her.
{CHORUS]
DbAb
When the news stories get’ me down.
EBEB
I take a drink of freedom to think of

My America from toe to crown,
FCEbF
it's never long before I know just why I belong here.
