Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]You know,
in the bayous [G]of Louisiana,
cowboy [Dm]pain,
[G]that's what the Cajun[C]s say.[Gsus4][G]
[C]And in New York's Little Ita[G]ly,[Gdim]
[G]That's how[D] they say it,
[Gsus4]ain't we?[G][C]
And [Em]in the beer halls of Milwaukee,
[Gsus4]you'll he[G]ar the words,
[Dm][G][C][Dm][C][F]
And it's Que Lindo [C]País
That's [F]what you'll hear them say
along [Gsus4]the border
[G]down [C]by the Rio Grande
[F]You know there's a lot of ways to say it
An[Em]d it's a privilege to play it,
[Dm]because a lot of good
people earned [Gsus4]it.
This [Ab]is how I le[Db]arned it.
You're beautiful [Ab]for spacious skies
[Ebm]For amber wa[Absus4]ves of gra[Ab]in[Db]
[Absus4]For purple[Ab][Db]
mountain [Ab]majesties
Above [Abdim]the fruit[Ab]ed pl[Eb]ain[Ab][Bb][Ab][Db]
[Fm]America, Ameri[Absus4]ca[Ab]
[Ebm]God shed hi[Ab]s grace on th[Db]ee
[F#]An d[Db] clou[F#]ds are good
with [Db]brotherhood
[F#]From sea to [Absus4]shin ing s[Ab]ea[Bbm]
[Db][Eb][F#][Db]
