You set foot in America, one fine
         E   E
 October day
E            E            
Sailing into Baltimore, well 
   A            B   B
everything's OK

    E               E       A    
New buttons on your jacket, 
                          E    E
shining like they're brand-new dimes
E                 E       
Glistening in the sunlight, 
| A   B |       E    E
blistering my eyes

You zoomed up to Philly, they'd 
  B                  F#   F#
taught you to make maps
     F#                  F#       
They commissioned you in piety, 
  B          C#   C#
and pitied any lapse

       F#           F#            
So you stormed into Pittsburgh, 
  B                        F#   F#
and waited for the waters to rise
    F#                F#         | 
And set sail down the Ohio, with a 
B          C# |    F#  F#
lost tribe on your mind

As hurricane Charlie was gathering

 pace
   G#               G#             
At night instead of eyelids, I saw

pictures of your face

G#             G#         C#    
Smiling in the moonlight,

shining in a golden hour
G#              G#     | C#      
Bluffing 'round America, seizing

every hour

You left olde Kentucky, and

sailed to the west
A#               A#    D#       
Stopped in Cincinnati, dined

Up to St Louis, Kaskaskia on the

way
C                   C           
Walking through the wilderness, 
F             G   G
sicker by the day

C         C              F      
Imaginary volcanoes, and 
        C     C
reptiles crawl around
     C                   C    
Your mind was baked just like a 
         | F       G |      C    C
cake, as trouble gathered round

Defected to the Spanish, you

joined the mighty crown
D      D         G               
Up the Missouri, flags were 
  A   A
coming down

    D               D          G 
You traded with the Omaha, the 
            D    D
Ponca and the Sioux
    D               D             |
But missed the lost Padoucas, after

 all the ballyhoo

Up with the Mandan, you raised

the Spanish flag
E               E       A       
Survived assassination, worked 
         B   B
upon your maps

        E                E        
But the lost tribe was a lost

cause, so you cried a silent tear
    E               E         |
And fled back to St Louis, to a 
 A     B |    E   E
familiar frontier

Down in New Orleans, the church

bells did trill
    F#               F#      
The body of Don Juan Evans, is

staying mighty still

    F#            F#        
You annexed North Dakota, you

surveyed by the stars
    F#             F#           | 
But here lies your body, by these

disease-ridden bars
