Does it [G] fly with the wind when you [Gmaj7] waken [G7] again
When itâs [C] gone do you know what it [D] means
Can you [G] picture the time when a man had to find
His own [F] way through an unbroken [C] land
Be [G] fore the machine changed the [Gmaj7] blue and the [G7] green
To [C] something you canât under [D] stand
[G] American Child theres a burning inside you
That [F] calls you away through the [C] cold
To [G] come back again to [Gmaj7] all that youâve [G7] been
Canât you [C] see that itâs time to come [D] home
To the [G] flowers and trees and the rivers and the seas
And the [F] earth whoâs the mother of [C] all
A [G] promise once made will it [Gmaj7] shine will it [G7] fade
Will we [C] rise with the vision or [A] fall
Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka [A]
Up to the [G] land of the [D] Midnight [A] Sun
Where the [G] whale and the polar bear run oer the [F] icy blue [C]

Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka
Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka
Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka
