[Em]
[E] [Am] It's not [E] a [A]
[E] place, [A] this [E] country [A] is to me [Em] a [A] sound of drum [E] and [A] bass.
You close [Em] your [A] eyes to look [E] around, [A] [E] look around, [A]
[Em] look around, look around, sound, look [A] around, [E] look around, [A] [Em] sound.
[A]
[Em] It's not a place, this country is to me a thought of the [D] space, [G] for [A] every [B] welcome that [Bm] is sought.
[E] You are [Bm] rock [E] and roll, you and I, rock and roll, you are rock and roll, you came here looking for [Bm] American [E] soul.
[A] It's not [E] a [G] place, [A] this is [Em] a [A] dream, the whole [E] world [A] owns the [E] pilgrim's [A] face.
[E] [A] It had [E] your [A] heart to call [Em] her home.

[E] [Bm] American, [E] [Bm] American.
[E] [Em]
Put your hands in the air, hold up the sky.
It could be too late, but we still gotta try.
There's a moment in our life where a soul can die.
[E] And a person [G] in a [Em] country when you believe the lie, the lie, the lie, the lie.
There's a promise in the heart of every good dream.
It's a call to action, not to fantasy.
The end of the dream, the start of what's real.
Let there be unity, let there be community.
For refugees like you and me, the country to be seen.
Will you be my [Bm] sanctuary, will you Jesus?
[E] You are [D] rock and [Em] roll, you and I, [Bm] rock and [E] roll, you are [Bm] rock and [Em] roll, you came here looking for American soul.
