F           Dm9       G7
  In America you'll get plenty food to eat
  A                              C
  Won't have to run through the jungle
             ( Bb )   F
  And scuff up your  feet


F                           Dm9
  You'll just sing about Jesus
G7
  And drink wine all day
C                    ( Bb )
  It's gonna be great
F                   F
  To be an American

 F                      Dm9
  Ain't no lions or tigers
 G7
  Ain't no mamba snake
 C
  Just the sweet watermelon
 F
  And the buckwheat cake

 F                 Dm9
  Everybody is happy
 G7
  As a man can be
 C              ( Bb )
  Climb aboard little children
 F
  Sail away with me

Chorus

F
 Sail Away
      Bb
 Sail Away
         F                     Dm9              G       C
 We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
F
 Sail Away
        Bb
 Sail Away
           F      Dm9        G           Bb     F
 We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Note: You can play that last Bb as a C also.

Verse:
In America
Every man is free
To take care of his home
and his family

You'll be happy as a monkey
in a monkey tree
Be American
Sail away with me
