America For Me

A    Bm              E         
It's fine to see the old world 
A          C#m    F#m
and travel up and down
D                E               
Among the famous palaces and 
      A
cities of renown
Bm                  E       A   
To admire crumbling castles and 
            C#m    F#m
the statues of the kings
D                    E           
But now I think I've had enough 
             A
of antiquated things
        Bm         E     A       
So it's home  home again America 
C#m F#m
for me
D                   E            
My heart is turning home again 
                   A
it's where I want to be
       Bm                E       
In the land of youth and freedom 
A          C#m      F#m
beyond the ocean    wide
D                        E       
Where the air is full of sunlight
                      A
 and the flag full of stars
   Bm          E          A      
Oh London is a man's town there's
       C#m    F#m
 power in the air

And Paris is a woman's town with 
               A
flowers in her hair

And it's sweet to dream in Venice 
     A        C#m   F#m
it's great to study Rome
D                    E           
But when it comes to living 
                 A
there's no place like home
        Bm         E     A       
So it's home  home again America

Where the air is full of sunlight
                      A
 and the flag full of stars
Bm              E          
I know Europe's wonderful yet 
   A         C#m      F#m
something seems to lack
D                    E           
The past is too much with her and
                    A
 the people looking back
        Bm           E             
 Oh the glory of the present is to

make the future free

We love our land for what she is

and what she is to be

D                        E       
Where the air is full of sunlight
