G D G

[Verse 1]
     G
When sorrows are befallen
     C
And shadows darken her door
                             G
When the fever spreads and a silent scourge
    Bm                  D
Outshines her golden shores

       G
When a cry for comfort reaches forth
         C
Like you never heard before
          G
Pray for America
D            G    C G
Our promised land

[Chorus]
     D
America, to thee
D7        G       C
May God's hand outreach
          G      D      G
Lord have mercy on America

[Verse 2]
     G
When the tears just keep falling
        C
And the glory light's gone dim
                         G
And the barren ground is full of holes
    Bm            D
We hasten to fill in
       G
When the firmest faith is shaken fast
       C
By a fear that's creeping in
          G
Pray for America
D            G    C G
Our promised land

[Chorus]
     D
America, to thee
D7        G       C
May God's hand outreach
          G      D      G
Lord have mercy on America

E

          A
Where the peaceful hour is broken
         D
By the pounding tumult quake
                 A
And all is torn asunder
        C#m                 Bm   E
What we thought could never break
       A
Yeah, all your saints come marching
         D
Through hell for heaven's sake
           A
Pray for America
E             A
Our promised land

[Chorus]
     E
America, to thee
E7        A       D
May God's hand outreach
          A     E       A
Lord have mercy on America
D               A
Woah Pray for America
     E                 A
God shed your grace on thee
