[Intro 1]
[C][D][Dsus4][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[Dsus4]Har bors [C]opened their arms
to the young search[Dsus4]ing forei[D]gner
[C]Come to live in the light of
the beacon of [D]liberty
[G]Planes and open skies,
[F#m]billboards would [Bm]advertise
Was it [Em]any thing like [Asus4]that when
you ar[D]rived[Am]
Dreamboats carry the future to
the [C]heart of [D]America
[Am]People were waiting in line
for a [D]place by the river
It was a time when [F#m]strangers
were welcome [Em]here[Asus4]
[D]Music would play,
they [F#m]tell me the days w[Em]ere sweet and c[A]lear
It was [F#m]a sweeter [F#dim]tune and [B]there was so much[G] room[C]
that [D]people [Asus4]could come from [G]every[Asus4] where[A]
[D]Now[C] he arrives with his hopes and
his heart [Dsus4]set on mi[C]racles[D]
[C]Come to marry his fortune with a
hand full [D]of promises
[G]To find they've closed the door,
they don't [F#m]want him a[Bm]nymore
[Em]Isn't [Asus4]anymore to go a[D]round
[C]Turning [Am]away he remembers
he [C]once heard
A le[D]gend [Am]that spoke of a mystical
magical [C]land [D]called America
[Asus4]There was[D] a time when strangers
[F#m]were welcome here[Em][Asus4]
[D]Music would play,
they [F#m]tell me the days w[Em]ere sweet and c[A]lear
It was [F#dim]a sweeter [B]tune and there [G]was so much
[C]room that [D]people [Asus4]could come from every[D]where
[A][D][C][D][C][D]
There was a time when strangers
[F#m]were welcome here[Em][Asus4]
[D]Music would play, they [F#m]tell me the days
[Em]were sweet [Asus4]and clear
[D]There was a time when [F#m]strangers
were welcome [Em]here[Asus4]
[D]Music would play,
they [F#m]tell me the days w[Em]ere sweet and clear
