[Primera Parte]

Am                                   G/B      C
Everything that made you great only made you bad
                 G                      E ( E  F  G  E )
Made the people hate all the good they had
Am
I know that you had big dreams
         G/B       C
That you had big plans
                 G
But abuse won't make
                   E ( E  F  G  E )
Won't make a free land

[Pré-Refrão 1]

            Am
You got a white picket fence and your dad's got a gun
    G/B       C
And when you see the police there's no reason to run
          Dm7
You got a job, and a car, and a good dental plan
          E
You got health insurance, pocket money
(E F G E)
Damn

You can't bury the truth
              E          ( E  F  G  E )
It's time to pay your dues
Am
America
         G/B  C
This is a new America
                      Dm7
Stars are shining for you
           E        ( E  F  G  E )
Sparkling red and blue

[Segunda Parte]

Am
Fuckеd with the food chain
                G/B      C
Fucked with the farming too
                         G
And now our food don't tastе
                   E ( E  F  G  E )
Like it's meant to do

[Pré-Refrão 2]

              Am
They've got blood on their hands

'Cause they stole all the land
    G/B      C
And all the lies they're here to raise
Made them feel like a man
              Dm7
Who gave you jazz, hip-hop, rock and roll, and the blues?
           E                 
No matter what, the story's catching up on you

[Estribillo]

It's time to pay your dues
Am
America
         G/B  C

Stars are shining for you

Sparkling red and blue

[Puente]

C       E    Am     F
White teeth, dark smile
C       E    Am     F
You've been in pain for a while
C          E          Am            E
You can't hide your secrets we can see

[Estribillo]
