F5           D5       G5
  In America you'll get plenty food to eat
  A5                              C5
  Won't have to run through the jungle
             ( Bb5 )   F5
  And scuff up your  feet


F5                           D5
  You'll just sing about Jesus
G5
  And drink wine all day
C5                    ( Bb5 )
  It's gonna be great
F5                   F5
  To be an American

 F5                      D5
  Ain't no lions or tigers
 G5
  Ain't no mamba snake
 C5
  Just the sweet watermelon
 F5
  And the buckwheat cake

 F5                 D5
  Everybody is happy
 G5
  As a man can be
 C5              ( Bb5 )
  Climb aboard little children
 F5
  Sail away with me

Chorus

F5
 Sail Away
      Bb5
 Sail Away
         F5                     D5              G5       C5
 We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
F5
 Sail Away
        Bb5
 Sail Away
           F5      D5        G5           Bb5     F5
 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
