	But i guess they don't know,what they're talking about 
                   D 
	From the mountains down to the sea 
                                     
	You've become such a habit with me

	Well i come from,down around Tennesee 
 
	But the people in California 
              A                  D 
	Are nice to me,A-merher-ica 
                   D

                                      A                 G 
	And the red man is right,to expect a little from you 
           A                       G         D   
	Promise and then follow through,America 
Verse 3: 
                 D 
	And the men,who fell on the planes 
 
	And lived,through hardship and pain 
           A              D 
	America,A-merher-ica 
                 D 
	And the men who could not fight 
 
	In a war that didn't seem right 
                A                        D 
	You let them come home,A-merher-ica
