Verse 1:
D G
By your way,i've often traveled
A D
Magic mother of the pearl
G
Watched your mysteries unravel
A D
While each foamy wave uncurled
G
Neath' my soles the sands of freedom
A D
Fertile valleys,moutains high
G
Blistered by the blazing sunshine
A D
Mellowed by the moonlight night
Chorus:
D G
Mighty measure of the Maker
A D
With your open arms unfurled
G
America,you are my woman
A D
America,you are my world
Verse 2:
D G
Many worlds and dreams i've traveled
A D
Sliding softly through the night
G
Scanned through silicones and cycles
A D
Mirrored low your emerald life
G
When my days on earth return to
A D
Dust from whence my body weighs
G
Will my soul could always carry
A D
Where the Saint's first flight was made
Chorus.
