Intro:  (G) (C) (Em) (D) x 2

C                              G
Drivin' down the street today, I saw the sign for lemonade
C                                   Em                  D
They were the cutest kids I'd ever seen in this front yard
C
As they handed me my glass, 
B
Smiled and thinkin' to myself
Am
Man, what a picture perfect 
F
postcard this would 
D
make of America

Chorus
G                   C
It's a high school prom. 
Am
It's a springstein song
D
It's a ride in a cheverlet
G                 C
It's a man on the moon, 
                 Am
and fireflies in June
             D
Kids sellin' lemonade
     Am
It's cities and farms 
    C
and open arms
G                D
One nation under God.

It's America G C Em D

(C)
Later on when I got home, 
(G)
I flipped the TV on
(C)
I saw a little town that some big 
(Em)            D
twister tore a-part
(C)
People came from miles around 
(B)
just to help their neighbors out
(Am)
And I was thinkin' to my self,
     (F)          (D)
I'm so glad that I live in America


Chorus


Now (Em)we don't always get it alright

There's (Am)noplace else I rather (D)build my life

(G)Cause it's a kid with a (C)chance. It's a rock n roll (Am)band
              D 
It's a farmer cuttin' hay
G               C
It's a big flag flyin' in the summer wind
Am               D
Over some fallen hero's grave.
