Americana

C             G7           
I’ve traveled all around this 
   C
country

             G7                  C
In my time I thought I’d seen it all

      F            G7            
But today I took a detour down a 
Am       G7
back-road

          D7                       
Through a little town whose name I 
      G7
can’t recall



           C          G7    
There were old men on benches 
          C
playing checkers

                 G7               
Children playing hopscotch on the 
C
square

    F            G7         
And high above a statue of an 
  Am      F
unknown soldier

    C         G7            C
Old Glory was waving in the air



Am         F             C
Suddenly I realized what I’d too 
long forgotten

  Am                 F            
A chill rose up like mountains on 
   G7
my skin

    Am            F         C    
Overcome with the feeling I knew 
      F
I was seeing

C           G7   C
America all over again

to the dream

       F          G7              C
You’re still what living means to me



               G7                  
I knew to stop would throw me off 
  C
my schedule

                    G7             
But I parked around behind the Five
     C
 and Dime

        F                G7       
There’s something bout a small 
         Am    G7
town in the summer

       D7                          
Like a Norman Rockwell picture back
    G7
 in time



          C               G7   
Kids were courting at the Rexall 
       C
soda fountain

                        G7       
Like we did before they built the 
          C
shopping mall

      F       G7       Am        
I saw so many reasons  why I love
      F
 this country

    C                      G7     
You know some things never really 
          C
change at all



Am                   F           
As I left the 2 lane road and 
    C
pulled back on that superhighway

  Am                  F           
I thought of what I’d seen back in
      G7
 that town

       Am            F
And it hit me like a freight train

       C                     F
That a stones throw from the fast 
lane

C          G7             C
America is still safe and sound
