Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I was [G]born on a
rock in the middle of the [C]ocean
Where [G]the wind's so rough it
can carry you [D]to London
[G]It'[C]s a new [Am]found land
with an old soul reach[C]ing
For the light of day
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]My parents gave me a life
full of [C]dreams
Yeah [G]they gave me a heart to
endure most [C]anything
But [Am]everyone gets a broken pair of [C]wings
And if you try to fly you'll [G]fail
But [D]a voice said, "Lift up your head"
And my [Em]heart burst [C]out of my [G]chest

[Verse 3]
I woke [G]up in [C]America
for the love of [G]God
I woke up in [C]America
for something bigger than myself
[Em]More than fire[C]works
and [G]fanfare
More than a star- [D]spangled banner
[Em]You're still beaut[C]iful
America
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Yeah it's late in the night and
I look in the mir[Em]ror[C]
Count [G]the lines on my face and
wonder how they got [C]there
Oh but [Am]every one's a story
of how grace appeared
[C]And carried me through the day[G]
And [D]the voice said,
"This land ain't dead"
You [Em]still got better days [C]up [G]ahead

[Verse 5]
I woke [G]up in [C]America
for the love of [G]God
I woke up in [C]America
for something bigger than myself
[Em]More than fire[C]works and fanf[G]are
More than a star- [D]spangled banner
[Em]You're still beaut[C]iful Ameri[Em]ca
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Em][C][G][D]

[Verse 6]
I've seen the hori[C]zon
ablaze in Arizona
[G]Shoreline shoutin' over [D]California
[Em]Moonlight dancin' over [C]the Dakotas
It [G]breaks your heart, it's so beau[D]tiful
Lady [C]liberty, she leaves the light on
[G]From the west side all the
[D]way to Long Island
[Em]Carolina Coast to the
[C]Rocky Mountains
[G]The sun is shining over [D]me

[Verse 7]
[G]I woke up in America for the love of God
I woke up in [C]America
For something bigger than myself
[Em]More than weal[C]th or depr[G]ession
More than a [D]red or blue nation
[Em]Here in our hell[C]s and
our [G]heaven

[Verse 8]
You're still [D]beautiful [G]America
You're beautiful [C]America
You're [G]beauti[C]ful America
[G]
