[Pre-Chorus]
  D                               G
A wise man was telling stories to me
          A                        
about the places he had been to and
     G               D
 the things that had seen

[Chorus]
    D                              
A quiet voice is singing something 
   G
to me
   A                             
An age old song 'bout the home of 
                   G               
the brave in this land here of the 
 D
free,
    G        A             D
One time one night in America

[Verse 1]
  D
A lady dressed in white with the man
 she loves
Standing along the side of their 
        G
pick up truck
  D                    G
A shot rang out in the night
          D                 G
Just when everything seemed right
        D                A     
Another headline written down in 
       D
America

[Verse 2]
    D
The guy that lived next door in 
three o five
took the kids to the park and 
                            G
disappeared 'bout half past nine
D             G        D        
Who will ever know how much she 
           G
loved them so
D                A            D
That dark night alone in America

   A

this land here of the free,
    G        A             D
One time one night in America

[Verse 3]
D
Four small boys playing ball in the 
parking lot
A preacher, a teacher, and the other
          G
 became a cop
  D                    G
A car skidded into the rain
           D                 G
Making the last little one a saint
D                   A           D
One more light goes out in America

[Verse 4]
  D
A young girl tosses a coin in the 
wishing well
She hopes for a heaven while for her
                   G
 there's just this hell
    D             G         D    
She gave away her life to become 
           G
somebody's wife
 D             A                D
Another wish unanswered in America

[Bridge]
A
People having so much faith
                   G               
Die too soon while all the rest 
  D
come late
   A
We write a song that no one sings
On a cold black stone where a 
G                          A
lasting peace will finally bring

[Verse 5]
    D
The sunlight plays upon my window 
pane
I wake up to a world that's still 
    G
the same
   D                 G
My father said to be strong
       D                       G
That a good man could never do wrong
     D                A      
In a dream I had last night in 
       D
America

[Pre-Chorus]
  D                               G
A wise man was telling stories to me
          A

     G               D
