[Verse 1]
[C][F][C][G][C][G]
Little
[C]Elba, how's [F]the sun in
South
America?
[C]Does it [Am]shine upon
the faces of [E]the poor?
They [F]see in it [G]the brilliance of
the place [C]that's been [Am]prepared
and [F]dwell upon [G]the hope
of what's in [C]store?
Or are [F]they just like me?
[C]Do the[F]y only see an [C]opportun[F]ity
[C]to [F]complain about [G]the heat?
And little
[C]El ba, how's the [F]rain in
South
Amer[C]ica?
Does it [Am]fall upon the rooftops of the [E]sick?
Do they [F]thank the
Lord for [G]coming up with [C]such a great idea
[Am]And [F]dream about a [G]place beyond all t[C]his?
Or are they [F]just like [C]us?
Do they [F]gripe and [C]fuss about the
[F]rain and [C]mud
When they've [F]had too [G]much?
Cause I'm just [C]a little jealous
[G]Of the [F]nothing that you hav[C]e
[G]You're [F]unfettered by the wea[C]lth of
[G]Of a wor[F]ld that we pretend is gon[G]na last
Well I'm [C]weary of the
[F]spoils of my ambi[C]tion
And I'm [Am]shackled by the
comfort of my [E]couch
Well, I [F]wish I had the [G]courage
to deny [C]these of my[Am]self
Start [F]to store my [G]treasure in the [C]clouds
Cause this is [F]not my [C]home, I do [F]not belong
[C]Where the ant[F]elope and[C] the buf[F]falo roa[G]m
No, no, and I'm just [C]a little jealous
[G]Of [F]the nothing that you [C]have[G]
[F]You're unfettered by the [C]wealth of
[G]Of a [F]world that we pretend is [G]gonna last
They say
God's blessed us [F]with plenty
[Am]But I sa[G]y you're blessed with poverty[F]
Be[Am]cause [G]you [F]never stop
to wonder whether
[Am]Earth is just a little better
[F]than the [G]land of the
[C]free.[F][G]
So I [C]hope you're safe and [F]dry in
South
[C]America, because I'm [Am]feeling
pretty good in
Tennessee.
[E]But may you [F]never be so [G]happy that
you for[C]get about your [Am]home
Your [F]home in the [G]land of the [C]free
[F][C][G][C]
