America

B            E
We came like babies
 E                                 
From our home across the sea to see
  A
 America
         D            A
And the people opened up their arms
    E            B
To welcome us... to America

             E
We came like children
 E                                 
From a far and distant land to see 
 A
America
         D             A
And the golden sun of freedom
          E          B
Filtered down to us, in America

 C#m                        A
And the people stood and stared
 C#m                      D     A
Loved us more than we had dared 
      E
to, in America
