American election song    (video)    (link to full song)

 

    G - Em - C - Am (2x)

 

    G                                       Em                      C                          Am

1.    There are times when I question, what is right and what is wrong,

G                           Em                    C                                     Am

    but in this presidential election, I'm just prayin’ we can all get along.

G                                   Em                  C                        Am

    There are too many problems, that aren't just red or blue,

G                      Em                                  C                     - D

    gotta find a uniter, a leader who can pull us through.

 

      G          Em             Bm

America, America, America !

 C                                          Am

Open up your arms, and embrace the world !

      G           Em         Bm         - D

America, America, America !

 

   G                              Em                    - C                                   Am

2.   We all live on this one blue marble,     just a fly speck in the universe,

G                           Em                        C                 Am

    Global warming, ozone depletion, oil energy becomes a curse.

G                           Em                                     C                           Am

    Making babies, making buildings, making vehicles without restraint,

G                          Em                                   C                           D

   We believe the patient is thriving, even though the pulse is getting faint .

 

      G          Em          Bm

America, America, America !

  C                                   Am

Open up your eyes, and save the world !

      G           Em         Bm         - D

America, America, America !

 

    G                         Em                          

3.      We no longer love our neighbors,

            C                             Am

    we make no effort to connect as friends.

    G                         Em                          

    And our children become strangers,

      C                           D

    watching T-V from birth to Depends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

G                        Em                        C                            Am

    We build our private castles, becoming prisoners within the walls.

G                              Em                    Am

    And if we need to talk to a family member,

     - - - - - - - -  C     Am     - C - Am                           C               - Am

    we use the cell phone,                 we reach for a cell phone,

                         C               D                    G        - Em - D

    we live in a cell and we try to make a call.

 

      G          Em          Bm

America, America, America !

  C                                     Am

Open up your hearts, and love the world !

      G           Em         Bm         - D  

America, America, America !

 

 

+ repeat CHORUS   + G
