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.
