INTRO: G G I left my home at seventeen Fell off the edge of the world to wake Em In America G America G Someone's burn and someone's game I swapped you a comb for a golden plane Em In America G America G Sorry always comes too late I traded a man for a ball and chain Em In America D America Am Oh America G America G If I don't have a dime does a dime have me Money makes money makes money off the back Em Of America G America G Color is blind in every way So when color is blind and in my way Em In America G America G Blunted beauty blunted reign I don't give a damn what the people say Em Of America D America Am It's still America G America Em C G Oh . . . Na Na Na Na Na Na x5 G Born strong and boundaries made Stitch together is a quilt of the fifty states Em Of America G America G Say what you will say what you might The eagle still flies in the dead of night Em In America D America G You can see it now from outer space The glimmer of hope and the song so faint Em Of America D America Am Oh America G America
