Vers 1:
ch]Dm[/ch
As if i really didnt understand
ch]Bb[/ch
That i was just another part of their plan
ch]C[/ch
I went off looking for the promise
ch]Dm[/ch
Believing in the Motherland
Vers 2:
ch]Dm[/ch
And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed
ch]Bb[/ch
And the safety of my own head
ch]C[/ch
I went on speaking of the future
ch]Dm[/ch
While other people fought and bled
Bridge 1:
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch
The kid I was when I first left home
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
When the truth was known
Chorus 1:
ch]C[/ch
I have prayed for America
ch]Am[/ch
I was made for America
ch]Bb[/ch
It's in my blood and in my bones
ch]Bb[/ch] - [ch]C[/ch
By the dawn's early light
ch]Bb[/ch] - [ch]C[/ch
By all I know is right
ch]Bb[/ch] - [ch]C[/ch
We're going to reap what we have sown
- - - x 1
Vers 4
ch]Dm[/ch
As if freedom was a question of might
ch]Bb[/ch
As if loyalty was black and white
ch]C[/ch
You hear people say it all the time-
ch]Dm[/ch
"My country wrong or right"
Vers 5
ch]Dm[/ch
I want to know what that's got to do
ch]Bb[/ch
With what it takes to find out what's true
ch]C[/ch
With everyone from the President on down
ch]Dm[/ch
Trying to keep it from you
Bridge 2
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch
The thing I wonder about the Dads and Moms
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch
Who send their sons to the Vietnams
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch
Will they really think their way of life
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Has been protected as the next war comes?
Chorus 2
ch]C[/ch
I have prayed for America
ch]Am[/ch
I was made for America
ch]Bb[/ch
Her shining dream plays in my mind
ch]Bb[/ch] - [ch]C[/ch
By the rockets red glare
ch]Bb[/ch] - [ch]C[/ch
A generation's blank stare
ch]Bb[/ch] - [ch]C[/ch
We better wake her up this time
- - - x 1

Bridge 3:
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch
The kid I was when I first left home
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
When the truth was known
Chorus 3:
ch]C[/ch
I have prayed for America
ch]Am[/ch
I was made for America
ch]Bb[/ch
I can't let go till she comes around
ch]Bb[/ch] - [ch]C[/ch
Until the land of the free
ch]Bb[/ch] - [ch]C[/ch
Is awake and can see
ch]Bb[/ch] - [ch]C[/ch
And until her conscience has been found
