                       Americana




C             G7              C
I’ve traveled all around this country
 
             G7                  C
In my time I thought I’d seen it all
 
      F            G7            Am       G7
But today I took a detour down a back-road
 
          D7                             G7
Through a little town whose name I can’t recall
 
 
 
           C          G7              C
There were old men on benches playing checkers
 
                 G7               C
Children playing hopscotch on the square
 
    F            G7           Am      F
And high above a statue of an unknown soldier
 
    C         G7            C
Old Glory was waving in the air
 
 
 
Am         F             C
Suddenly I realized what I’d too long forgotten
 
  Am                 F               G7
A chill rose up like mountains on my skin
 
    Am            F         C          F
Overcome with the feeling I knew I was seeing
 
C           G7   C
America all over again
 
 
 
  F    G7
A—mer-icana
 
F             G7               C
Pictures of a people proud and free
 
  Am  F      D7        G7             Am    G7
A—m-ericana  I’ll keep holding to the dream
 
       F          G7              C
You’re still what living means to me
 
 
 
               G7                    C
I knew to stop would throw me off my schedule
 
                    G7                  C
But I parked around behind the Five and Dime
 
        F                G7                Am    G7
There’s something bout a small town in the summer
 
       D7                              G7
Like a Norman Rockwell picture back in time
 
 
 
          C               G7          C
Kids were courting at the Rexall soda fountain
 
                        G7                 C
Like we did before they built the shopping mall
 
      F       G7       Am              F
I saw so many reasons  why I love this country
 
    C                      G7               C
You know some things never really change at all
 
 
 
Am                   F               C
As I left the 2 lane road and pulled back on that superhighway
 
  Am                  F                 G7
I thought of what I’d seen back in that town
 
       Am            F
And it hit me like a freight train 
 
       C                     F
That a stones throw from the fast lane
 
C          G7             C
America is still safe and sound
 
 
 
  F    G7
A—mer-icana
 
F             G7               C
Pictures of a people proud and free
 
C Am  F      D7        G7             Am    G7
A—m-ericana, I’ll keep holding to the dream
 
       F          G7              C
You’re still what living means to me
