	  Dan Fogelberg - Faces Of America 
  
  
Intro: G  C  (4x)  G 
  
                 C G 
There was a time 
               C G 
A simpler time  
                                     D      C-D-G 
When a man could be sure of where he stood  
                           C G 
I used to work at the yard 
                        C G 
Working honest and hard  
                                     D      C-D-G 
The hours were long, but the pay was good  
  
  
                           C G 
I had a family and friends 
                C G 
So many friends  
                              D     C-D-G 
We'd drive to the lake on holidays  
                            C G 
Back then it wasn't so dear 
                       C G 
For a sandwich or beer  
                                       D     C 
At night I still dream I can see their faces  
  
  
Chorus: 
                          G          C 
Certain things that you depend upon  
                            G      C 
They were places that you'd known   
                  G 
And the faces of America  
   D                 Em 
Oh oh, where do they go 
               G   C  G  C  G 
Where did they go  
  
  
                     C G 
I was born on a farm 
                   C G 
A mid-western farm  
                              D     C-D-G 
I rode on the tractor with my dad  
                             C G 
And though we never had much 
                     C G 
It was always enough  
                                  D     C-D-G 
And we made the best with what we had  
  
  
                                   C G 
But then came four years of drought 
                          C G 
And the bottom dropped out  
                               D     C-D-G 
My father was broken, like the rest  
                              C G 
And I can still see his hands 
                       C G 
Signing over his lands  
                                             D              C 
And the bankers grow fat on the flesh of the dispossessed  
  
  
Chorus: 
                          G          C 
Certain things that you depend upon 
                       G    C 
There are places I can go 
                     G 
I sift the ashes of America 
        D               Em 
For someplace I used to know (someplace I used to know) 
    D               C 
Someplace I used to know (someplace I used to know) 
                    G 
Someplace I used to know  
  
  
Instrumental: C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G 
  
  
                 C G 
There was a time 
               C G 
A simpler time  
                                     D     C-D-G 
When a man could be sure of where he stood  
                           C G 
I used to work at the yard 
                        C G 
Working honest and hard  
                                     D             C 
The hours were long, but the pay was oh, so good  
  
  
Chorus: 
                          G          C 
Certain things that you depend upon 
                           G      C 
I used to think were guaranteed  
                        G 
Like the right of every man to work  
                 Em                   C 
And feed his family, and feed his family  
                  G        C 
And the faces of America 
                      G        C 
Seem so distant and estranged  
                           G 
Have their eyes become too blind to see  
    D                      Em 
How much their hearts have changed (how much their hearts have changed)  
                           C 
How much their hearts have changed (how much their hearts have changed) 
                           G 
How much their hearts have changed
