Lady Liberty Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]My grandfather got on a boat
When he was only five years [C]old
His [G]father told him of his dream
Of freedom,
hope and cities paved with [C]gold
[Am]They left the life they knew behind
[B]Soon they saw the shoreline
Of [C]America rising from the [C#dim]sea[A]
In the [Dsus4]new world[G], their new home
Had a [D]view of the Statue of [C]Liberty
[G]

[Verse 2]
Keep your light held high
Keep the [Em]dream alive watch
[C]over [Dsus4]me
Lady [G]Liberty

[Verse 3]
My [G]mother grew up on a farm
In northern [C]Idaho
Her [G]father told her of his dream
That a working man could make
The wheat field[C]s grow
[Am]When the chores were done at night
She [B]studied by the candlelight
[C]To learn about her country's his[A]tory
From [Dsus4]around th[G]e world,
her people came
Drawn [D]by the light of
justice and [Am]liberty[G]

[Verse 4]
Keep your [G]light held high
Keep the [Em]dream alive watch
[C]over [Dsus4]me
Lady [G]Liberty

[Verse 5]
I [A]live in California now
With a family of my [D]own
I [A]tell my children of my dream
To reach out and discover
worlds un[D]known
[Bm]Someday we're going to take a trip
Des[C#]cendants of the immigrants
Fly [D]through the sky from sea
to shining [Ebdim]sea[B]
To [A]stand where so many
dreamed [Esus4]their dre[E]ams
Beside the Statue of [D]Liber[A]ty

[Verse 6]
Keep your [A]light held high
Keep the [F#m]dream alive watch

I need you to watch [D]over me

Oh, keep your [A]light held high
Keep the [F#m]dream alive watch [D]over me,
[Esus4]over me

[Verse 8]
