Chords for Jackie Evancho - God Bless America - A Capitol Fourth 2016

Every year, a Capital Fourth features our most beloved patriotic songs.
A favorite of all of us is a [F] song that is approaching its centennial,
God Bless America.
Written by the great Irving Berlin in 1918, it has become a classic,
one that unites us all in our love of this country.
And now it's my pleasure to introduce the artist who has her own beautiful rendition [G] of it.
Please welcome back to a Capital Fourth, Jackie Evancho.
