Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
STEEPLES OF WHITE, WINDS OF CHANGE AND FEAR
FLAGS ON FIRE, SOMETHING LOOMING NEAR
FROM SHORE TO SHORE....FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
I AM THIS LAND...MAYBE THIS LAND IS ME
FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT
MY INNOCENCE...WONDERING WHERE IT WENT
YOU MUST DEFEND, WHAT YOU THINK IS YOURS
SOMETIMES I FIGHT...LITTLE DIRTY WARS
ITS THE AMERICAN IN ME
FOXHOLE PRAYERS, CRUCIFIXTIONS BURN
YOU CAN ENDURE, THAT DONT MEAN YOU LEARN
IM NOT EVEN SURE, WHAT IS BEING DONE
SOMETIMES I WONDER, WHAT WILL BECOME
OF THE AMERICAN IN ME
SOMETIMES I LOOK, I DONT WANNA SEE
ITS THE AMERICAN IN ME
OLD MEN IN DINING CARS OF ALL NIGHT TRAINS
LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE SMALL TOWN NAMES
THEY DREAM OF DAYS GONE BY WITH EYES SOAKED
IN REVERIE
AND SINGING , MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE
SOMETIMES IM RIGHT, SOMETIMES IM WRONG
SOMETIMES I GO, WHERE I DONT BELONG
WHAT'S LIBERTY, THE HISTORY BOOKS ARE STAINED
SOMETIMES IM PROUD, SOMETIMES IM SO ASHAMED
OF THE AMERICAN IN ME
DONT MISTAKE DISSENT FOR DISLOYALTY
ITS THE AMERICAN IN ME
