My America Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][C][G][C]
She [G]lies

[Verse 1]
[C]asleep
near the snow -capped peaks
[G]of the [C]teetons [F]of Yellowstone
And she [G]sings to me in [D]sad [G]memories
[D]Of the [G]days when the buffalo [C]roamed[G]
A [C]white -faced cow is grazing now
On the plains where the longhorn [F]trot
And a [G]red -skinned [D]man has
a cal[G]loused hand
[D]From [G]turnin' Oklahoma [C]soft
I hear the deadly sound
of a cannon's round
As she sets her people [F]free
Where [G]brave men [Dm]died [D]to
pro[G]tect her rights
and [D]make a [G]place for you and [C]me
And [Em]now I [F]love to gaze at the [G]color change
on her [F]hills in [C]Tennessee
[D]Or [C]to [F]smell the rains on a [G]Sunday plain
With a good horse between my [C]knees[D]
I hear the ghostly scream of the wagon train
As the desert takes its [G]toll
And the [A]life she gave was
the price she paid
For the walls of the [D]Alamo[A]
Her [D]steel rails rolled on her
western coast
She's moving her people [G]on
Now the [A]buildings hide
out her western skies
But moving keeps her people [D]strong
Brave men help make America great,
just look what they have [G]done.
And I'm [A]proud to say that the Lord has
made me one of America's son[D]s.
And now [G]I love to gaze at the [A]color change
on her [G]hills in Ten[D]nessee
Or to [G]smell the rain on a [A]Sunday plain
with a good horse between my [D]knees
The sweet [G]smell of rain on a [A]Sunday plain,
With a good horse between my knees.
[D][A]
