[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] [Ab] [F]
[Bb]
The unknown [Eb] soldier's turning in his [Bb] grave.
Has our country gone so [Eb] far it can't [F] be saved?
Will [Bb] Miss Liberty [Eb] ever smile [Bb] again?
What was built by God, [F] will it be destroyed [Bb] by man?
I see Washington [Eb] at Valley [Bb] Forge, Jackson at New Orleans,
Jim Booty [Eb] at the Alamo's, they [Gm] all had a [Bb] common dream.
See everyone in the whole wide [Eb] world united as a [Bb] peaceful race.
We don't heed their call, this nation's gonna fall [Ab] like the tears on [Bb] Lincoln's face.
[Ab] [Eb] [Bb]
[Gb] [B]
The Prince of Peace [E] walked among us [B] long ago.
He warned us that [E] we'd reap just what [Gb] we sow.
We [B] no longer have [E] the faith of a mustard [B] seed.
Those were sowing anger, [Gb] hate [B] and greed.
I see Washington [E] at Valley [B] Forge, Jackson at New Orleans,
Jim Booty at [E] the Alamo's, [B] they all had a [Gb] common dream.
See everyone in the whole wide world [E] united as a peaceful [B] race.
And we don't heed their call, this nation's gonna fall [A] like the tears [E] on [B] Lincoln's face.
[Gb]
[Bb] I [B] see Washington [E] at Valley Forge, [B] Jackson at New Orleans,
Jim Booty at [E] the Alamo's.
