Across America Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I've [D]heard
enough from pun[G]dits
I've [A]heard our leaders [D]speak
I tell you know I'd [G]rather talk
to [A]the people in the [D]street
'Cause you don't know someone
[G]Until you've loo[A]ked
them in the [Bm]eye
And [G]that gave me a purpose
And every reason [A]why

[Verse 2]
I drove my[G]self across [A]America
From [D]Sea to shining [Bm]Sea
From the [G]Rocky coast of [A]Maine
To [D]the mighty redwood [Bm]trees
From [G]the plains of North [A]Dakota
to the [D]Gulf of [A]Mexico[Bm]
It's [A]good to [Em]know
That [D]hope's alive [G]again[A]
Across Amer[D]ica

[Verse 3]
[G]I s[D]pok[G]e t[D]o folks in New Orl[G]eans
With [A]hammers in their hand[D]s
There's a waitress in Missouri
[G]Who wan[A]ts her own health pla[D]n
And to the workers up in [G]Michigan
In [A]all the auto [Bm]plants
They're the [G]working men and women

[Interlude 1]
Saying "Yes, we can"
[A][G][A][D]
[A][Bm][A][Em][D][G][A]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]Your checks and
stocks and [A]banks
Can't [D]take our [A]hope [Bm]away[A]
You can[G]'t foreclose on [A]hope
[Bm]Nobody has to pay
[A]

[Verse 5]
I drove my[G]self across [A]America
[D]From Sea to shining [Bm]Sea
From [G]the Rocky coast of [A]Maine
To the [D]mighty redwood [Bm]trees
From the [G]plains of North [A]Dakota
to the [D]Gulf of [A]Mexico
[Bm]It's good [A]to k[Em]now[D][G][A][D][Em]
That [D]hope's alive [G]again[A]
Across Amer[D]ica

[Outro 1]
