Intro

G G C G



G

We were poor

          G

But I was satisfied

      C                        G

And I thought that you were, too



         G

You were pure

          G

And I was terrified

         C                 G

I wasn't good enough for you



          G

When they sailed

         G

Into the harbour

        C                 G

I could see it in your eyes



  G

I knew

              Em

That you were dreaming

   C              G

Of leaving me behind



Chorus

G       D                  G

You say "America is beautiful"

    D                  Em

And I sure hope you're right

           D                  G

If I could see you across the water

         C          D           Em

I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"

         C          D             G

I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"



Bridge

G G C G



       G

When I met

            G

That Yankee sailor

         C                   G

He stood tall and shook my hand



        G

He took pleasure

       G

In the moment

       C              G

In the measure of a man



        G

Then he turned

            G

And left me standing

       C                   G

And he asked you out to dance



             G

But when you met

               Em

That Yankee sailor

          C                   G

I knew I didn't stand a chance



G       D                     G

You say "America is beautiful"

    D                  Em

And I sure hope you're right

           D                  G

If I could see you across the water

         C          D           Em

I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"

         C          D             G

I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"



G

We were poor

          G

But I was satisfied

      C                        G

And I thought that you were, too



         G

You were pure

          G

And I was terrified

         C                 G

I wasn't good enough for you



G       D                     G

You say "America is beautiful"

    D                  Em

And I sure hope you're right

           D                  G

If I could see you across the water

         C          D           Em

I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"

         C          D             Em

I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"

         C          D             G

I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"
