[INTRO]
[G] [Em] [G] [Em]
[VERSE]
[G] [Em]
We traveled this land back in nineteen sixty-two
[G] [Em]
We played the places that were home to me and you
[G] [Em]
We drove to Memphis, we rocked a set
[G] [Em]
We walked the streets at night and smoked a cigarette
[CHORUS]
[C] [Cmaj7]
Here in America
[Cmaj7] [Em]
Heeeeeeere in America
[Am] [Am7]
There was so much I didn't know
[D]
About the way that life could go
[Em] [Em]
Here in America
[VERSE]
[G] [Em]
Down the block I saw the people stop and stare
[G] [Em]
You did your best to make a Yankee boy aware
[G] [Em]
I never thought about the color of your skin
[G] [Em]
I never worried 'bout the hotel I was in
[CHORUS]
[C] [Cmaj7]
Here in America (Woh oh woh oh)
[Cmaj7] [Em]
Heeeeeeere in America (In America)
[Am] [Am7]
But the places I could stay
[D]
They all made you walk away
[Em] [Em]
Here in America
[G] [Em] [G] [Em]
[VERSE]
[G] [Em]
You were the man who earned the glory and the fame
[G] [Em]
But cowards felt that they could call you any name
[G] [Em]
You were the star, standing in the light
[G] [Em]
That won you nothing on a city street at night
[CHORUS]
[C] [Cmaj7]
Here in America
[Cmaj7] [Em] [Em]
Heeeeeeere in America
[Am] [Am7]
You were told that we were free
[D]
This land is made for you and me
[Em] [Em] [Em] [Em]
Here in America
[VERSE]
[G] [Em]
You stayed more steady than a backbeat on a drum
[G] [Em]
You told me you believed a change was gonna come
[G] [Em]
You sang for freedom but lived life free
[G] [Em]
I saw it in your smile and in your dignity
[CHORUS]
[C] [Cmaj7]
Here in America
[Cmaj7] [Em] [Em]
Heeeeeeere in America
[Am] [Am7]
A preacher's kid you'll always be
[D]
Singing the truth to set us free
[Em] [Em]
Here in America
[Em] [Em] [Em] [Em]
Here in America
[VERSE]
[G] [Em]
You were a star when you were standing on a stage
[G] [Em]
I look back on it, I feel a burning rage
[G] [Em]
You sang "You Send Me", I sang "I Wonder Why"
[G] [Em]
I still wonder, you were way too young to die
[CHORUS]
[C] [Cmaj7]
Here in America (ooooh, ooh ooh oooooh ooh)
[Em] [Em]
Here in America
[Am] [Am7]
Hey, Sam, I wish that you were near
[D]
I wish that you were here
[OUTRO]
[Em] [Em]
Here in America
[C] [D]
Here in America
[Em] [Em]
America
[C] [D]
In America
[Em] [Em]
Here in America
