American Child
guitar chords lyrics
[D] - - [Esus] - [E] - [F] - - [G] - - [A] -
Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka [A]
Up to the [G] land of the [D] Midnight [A] Sun
Where the [G] whale and the polar bear run oer the [F] icy blue [C]
sea
[A] Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka [A]
Up to the [G] north and the [D] pioneer [A] life
Where [G] courage and strength still survive
And a [F] man can be [C] free [D]
[G] American Child does the call of the wild
Ever [F] sing thru the mist of your [C] dreams
Does it [G] fly with the wind when you [Gmaj7] waken [G7] again
When it�s [C] gone do you know what it [D] means
Can you [G] picture the time when a man had to find
His own [F] way through an unbroken [C] land
Be [G] fore the machine changed the [Gmaj7] blue and the [G7] green
To [C] something you can�t under [D] stand
[G] American Child theres a burning inside you
That [F] calls you away through the [C] cold
To [G] come back again to [Gmaj7] all that you�ve [G7] been
Can�t you [C] see that it�s time to come [D] home
To the [G] flowers and trees and the rivers and the seas
And the [F] earth who�s the mother of [C] all
A [G] promise once made will it [Gmaj7] shine will it [G7] fade
Will we [C] rise with the vision or [A] fall
Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka [A]
Up to the [G] land of the [D] Midnight [A] Sun
Where the [G] whale and the polar bear run oer the [F] icy blue [C]
sea
[A] Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka [A]
Up to the [G] north and the [D] pioneer [A] life
Where [G] courage and strenght still survive
And a [F] man can be [C] free
Men can be [D] free
Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka
Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka
Goin up to A [G] las [D] ka
