Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
  Some have said,done  through history
  If you last it's a mistery
  But i guess  they don't know,what they're talking about
  From the mountains  down to the sea
  You've become such a habit with me
 
  America,-merher-ica
  Well i come from,down  around Tennesee
  But the people in California
  Are nice  to me,A-merher-ica
  It don't matter  where i may roam
  Tell you people that it's home sweet home
 
  America,-merher-ica
  And my brothers  are all black and white,yellow  too
  And the red man is right,to expect  a little from  you
  Promise  and then follow through,America
  And the men,who  fell on the planes
  And lived,through hardship and pain
 
  America,-merher-ica
  And the men  who could not fight
  In a war that didn't seem right
  You let them  come home,A-merher-ica
 Chorus.
  Well i come from,down  around Tennesee
  But the people in California
  Are nice  to me,A-merher-ica
  It don't matter  where i may roam
  Tell you people that it's home sweet home
 
  America,-merher-ica
 
  America,-merher-ica
  It's home  sweet home,A-merher-ica
 
  America,-merher-ica
 Thanks to David M. Potter for the lyrics.
