VERSE:
Eb/F                          
Harbours open their arms to the 
                   F
young searching foreigner
Eb/F                           
Come to live in the light of the 
             F
beacon of liberty
 Bb
Plains and open skies
 Am                   Dm
Billboards would advertise
       F              Gm   C     
Was it anything like that when 
     F
you arrived?


PD-C HORUS:
 Cm                              
Dream boats carried the future to 
                F
the heart of America
 Cm                              
People were waiting in line for a 
       F
place by the river


CHORUS:
 F                   Am           
It was a time when strangers were 
         Gm  Bb
welcome here
 F                     Am         
Music would play they tell me the 
           Gm         C
days were sweet and clear
          Am          D
It was a sweeter tune
              Bb      Bb Bbm
And there was so much ro-om
      F            Bb     
That people could come from 
         F    C F
everywhere

Eb/F                              
Now he arrives with his hopes and 
                  F
his heart set on miracles
Eb/F                           
Come to marry his fortune with a 
                 F
hand full of promises
    Bb
To find they've closed the door
           Am          Dm
They don't want him anymore
       Gm        Bb           F
There isn't any more to go around


PD-C HORUS:
 Cm                              
Turning away he remembers he once 
          F
heard a legend
      Cm                        
That spoke of a mystical magical 
               F
land called America
