American Soul

Em
Blessed are the bullies
For one day they will have to stand 
up to themselves
Em
Blessed are the liars
For the truth can be awkward

( Em  A )

Em
It's not a place
                   A
This country is to me a sound
Em
Of drum and bass
               A              Em
You close your eyes to look around

Em
Look around, look around
Em     A             Em
Look around, it's a sound
        Em
Look around, look around

It's a sound

Em
It's not a place
            A
This country is to me a thought
             G      D
That offers grace
           A              Em
For every welcome that is sought

Em       Bm
You are rock and roll
Em            A
You and I are rock and roll
Em
You are rock and roll
Em
Came here looking for American soul

Em
It's not a place
Em          A
This is a dream the whole world owns
Em
The pilgrim's face
Em           A                 Em
It had your heart to call her home

Em        G
Dream on
 G               A
dreams get me sleepin'

( Bm  D )

Em       Bm
You are rock and roll
Em            A
You and I are rock and roll
Em
You are rock and roll
Em
Came here looking for American soul

( Em  Bm )
