American Land  Bruce Springsteen

[G]What is this land of America, [C]so many travel [G]there
[G]I'm going now while I'm still young, my d[C]arling meet me t[D]here
[G]Wish me luck my lovely, I'll se[C]nd for you when I c[D]an
And we'll [G]make our [C]home in the [D]American [G]land[G] [/] [C] [/] [D] [/] [G]
[G]Over there all the woman wear [C]silk and satin to their [G]knees
[G]And children dear, the sweets, I hear, are growing on the [D]trees
[G]Gold comes rushing out the river straight into your [D]hands
If you [G]make your [C]home in the [D]American [G]land[G] [/] [C] [/] [D] [/] [G]
[G]There's diamonds in the sidewalks, [C]there's gutters lined in [G]song
[G]Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night [D]long
[G]There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working [D]man
Whoâ??l[G]l make hi[C]s home in th[D]e America[G]n land[G] [/] [C] [/] [D] [/] [G]
[G] [C] [G] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G] [/] [C] [/] [D] [/] [G] 
[G]I docked at Ellis Island in a [C]city of light and [G]spire
[G]I wandered to the valley of red-hot steel and [D]fire
[G]We made the steel that built the cities with the sweat of our two [D]hands
And [G]made our [C]home in the [D]American [G]land[G] [/] [C] [/] [D] [/] [G]
[G]There's diamonds in the sidewalk, [C]there's gutters lined in [G]song
[G]Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night [D]long
[G]There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working [D]man
Who will [G]make his [C]home in the [D]American [G]land[G] [/] [C] [/] [D] [/] [G]
[C] [G] [C] [C] [D] [C] [G] [G] [/] [C] [/] [D] [/] [G] 
[G]McNicholas, the Posalski's, [C]the Smiths, the Zurrili[G]s too
[G]The Blacks, the Irish, Italians, the Germans and the [D]Jews
[G]Come across the water a 1000 miles from [D]home
with [G]nothing in their [C]bellies and a [D]fire down [G]below
[G]They died building the railroads, [C]worked to bones and [G]skin
[G]They died in the fields and factories, names scattered in the [D]wind
[G]They died to get here a hundred years ago, they're dyin' [D]now
The [G]hands that built the country [C]we're all [D]trying to keep [G]down
[G]There's diamonds in the sidewalk, [C]there's gutters lined in [G]song
[G]Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night [D]long
[G]There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working [D]man
Who will [G]make his [C]home in the [D]American [G]land (3 times)
[D] [G] [D] [D] [A] [D] [A] [D] [/] [G] [/] [A] [/] [D] 
[C]G / C / [G]D / G [C](3 time[C]s)[D] [C] [G]
