[E][Em][Esus4]

[Verse 1]
[Esus4]America,
[E]America, far[Am] below[F#dim]
[E]Mys[Esus4]terious circles in
desert and snow
Forest [E]and mountain,
concrete [Esus4]an d crow,
Shadow of Clyde moving silent and low.
Scat[E]terlight veins con[Esus4]nected,
[Am]entwin[F#dim]ed,
[Esus4]Rivers and lakes run like
dark charcoal mine,
Become albumen print[E]s in t[Esus4]he
[Am]plates of [F#dim]the spine,
[Esus4]Potter -winged mortal
meets giz of divine
Spir[C]itual America
[D]Spi[Em]ritua[Esus4]l Amer[Em][C]
[D]ica
[Em][E][Em][Edim][Em]
[E][Esus4]
[E]Driv[Em]en and callous,
[E]immune to the small
Ex[Esus4]quisitely buzzed to the roar of the wall
[Em]Welcomes the faithful to[F]
its cross -altar call
[F#dim]Turns a b[Esus4]lind eye to
the fra[E]gile who [Em]fall
Spir[C]itual [D]America
[Em]Spir[C]itual America[D][Em][E]
[G]All the good we [D]could have done,
[F]could have done for [Em]everyone
[G]Is this the land of the
[D]setting [F#dim]sun?[F]
[G]Have we forgotten who [D]we were,
[F]and why we came here [Em]anyway?
So [G]pick up the reins and
kick [D]the [F]spurs
[Em]Shackled and shamed and
stripped [E]of its voice
Left in a corner to suffer the [Esus4]noise
Made [Em]by corporate thugs
and [Am]their fat city [Esus4]boys
Being [Am]sick on their wealth
[Esus4]like they hadn't a choice
[C]Spiritual Amer[D]ica[Em]
