Intro G C (3x) 

verse 1 

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

verse 2 

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

  
    G                                       C 
I woke up in America for the love of God 
       G                                    C 
I woke up in America for something bigger than myself 
    Em                      C 
More than fireworks and fanfare 
   G                            D 
More than a star-spangled banner 
    Em              C 
You're still beautiful America 

verse 3 

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


    G                                                  C 
I woke up in America for the love of God 
     G                                                 C 
I woke up in America for something bigger than myself 
     Em                           C 
More than fireworks and fanfare 
      G                            D   
More than a star-spangled banner 
  Em                   C     
You're still beautiful America 

Solo  Em C G D (2x) 

Bridge 
                               C 
I've seen the horizon ablaze in Arizona 
              G                             D  
Shoreline shoutin' over California 
                   C  
Moonlight dancin' over the Dakotas 
             G                              D 
It breaks your heart, it's so beautiful 
                     C 
Lady Liberty, she leaves the light on 
           G                                     D 
From the west side all the way to Long Island 
                C  
Carolina Coast to the Rocky Mountains 
      G                                  D 
The sun is shining over me 

 

        G                                                  C 
I woke up in America for the love of God 
            G                                                   C 
I woke up in America for something bigger than myself 
     Em                                     C 
More than wealth or depression 
       G                                     D 
More than a red or blue nation 

       Em                                  C 
Here in our hells and our heaven 
       G                                      D 
You're still beautiful America 
      G                                     C 
You're beautiful America 
         G                                C          G 
You're beautiful America
