Verse 1: 
      D                          G 
         By your way,i've often traveled 
      A                      D 
         Magic mother of the pearl 
                                  G 
         Watched your mysteries unravel 
      A                          D     
         While each foamy wave uncurled 
                                       G 
         Neath' my soles the sands of freedom 
      A                           D 
         Fertile valleys,moutains high 
                                  G   
         Blistered by the blazing sunshine 
      A                            D  
         Mellowed by the moonlight night 
 
          
Chorus: 
      D                        G   
         Mighty measure of the Maker 
      A                       D 
         With your open arms unfurled 
                            G  
         America,you are my woman 
      A                     D   
         America,you are my world 
 
 
Verse 2: 
      D                               G   
         Many worlds and dreams i've traveled 
      A                             D 
         Sliding softly through the night 
                                       G 
         Scanned through silicones and cycles 
      A                            D 
         Mirrored low your emerald life 
                                 G 
         When my days on earth return to 
      A                            D 
         Dust from whence my body weighs 
                                   G 
         Will my soul could always carry 
      A                                     D 
         Where the Saint's first flight was made 
 
 
Chorus.
