Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]
I've traveled [A]all around this coun

[Verse 1]
[D]
try
In my time I [A]thought I'd seen it [D]all
But [G]today I took a de[A]tour
down [Bm]a back [D]road
Through a [E]little town whose
name I can't re[A]call

[Verse 2]
There [Dm]were old men on [A]benches
playing [D]checkers
Children playing hop [A]scotch [D]on the square
And [G]high above [A]a statue of
[Bm]an unknown sol[G]dier
Old [D]glory was [A]waving in the [D]air

[Verse 3]
[Bm]Suddenly I [G]realized [D]what I'd
too long forgotten
[Bm]Chill rose up like [G]mountains on my [A]skin
Over[Bm]come with a feel[G]ing
[D]I knew I was see[G]ing
[D]America [Dm]all over[A] again[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Amer[G]icana
[D]Pic[A]tur[G]e of a peop[A]le
proud and [D]free
Americ[G]ana[Em]
And I'll keep [A]holding to [Bm]the dream[D]
[G]You're still what liv[A]ing means to me[D][G]
[A][D]

[Verse 5]
I knew the stop [A]would throw
me off my sched[D]ule
But I parked around be[A]hind
the Five [D]and Dime
There's [G]something about [A]a small
town in the Sum[Bm]mer[D]
Like a [E]Norman Rockwell
picture back [A]in time

[Verse 6]
Kids were [D]courting at [A]the
Rexall soda foun[D]tain
Like we did before [A]they built
the shopping [D]mall
I saw [G]so many [A]reasons [Bm]why
I love this coun[G]try
You [D]know some things never
[A]really change [D]at all

[Verse 7]
As I [Bm]left the two-lane road
road
[G]And pulled back on [D]that super high way
I [Bm]thought of what I'd [G]seen
back in [A]that town
And it [Bm]hit me like a freight [G]train
That a [D]stone's throw
from the [G]fast lane
[D]America [A]is still safe and [D]sound

[Outro 1]
[D][G][A][G][A][D]
[G][Em][A][Bm][D]
[G][A][D][A][D][G][D]
[A][G][A][D]
[G][Em][A][Bm][D][G][A]
[D][A][D][G][A][G][A]
[D][G][Em][A]
[Bm][D][G][A][D]
