I See America Guitar Chords

Album : In Defense of My Own Happiness

Key : Ebm

    [Verse 1]
      Em7
I saw God out on the block today
       D
He was darker than the preachers say
        Am
With a teardrop tattooed on his face
                Em7
And dirt on his fingers
      Em7
I saw angels when he laughed the way
            D
That people do when they have known true pain
         Am
For his sins I don't know who's to blame
                   Em7
What choice was he given?
                         Bm
In this world that we're livin'
 
[Chorus]
           C/G
When I see you
      Dadd4/A
I see love
       Em
I see America
            C/G
I feel your pain
             Dadd4/A
I share your blood
       Em
I see America
 
[Verse 2]
          Em7
Said you mother knows a different time
              D
She lets her tongue slip with a glass of wine
                Am
And says some things out loud that don't feel right
                  Em7
But you always forgive her
          Em7
Don't you see the world is changing now?
                  D
The blood of the fallen cries out from the ground
              Am
Violence and rumors in a southern town
                  Em7
Both start with a whisper
                Bm
But so does the difference
 
[Chorus]
           C/G
When I see you
      Dadd4/A
I see love
       Em
I see America
            C/G
I feel your pain
             Dadd4/A
I share your blood
       Em
I see America
 
           C/G
When I see you
      Dadd4/A
I see love
       Em
I see America
            C/G
I feel your pain
             Dadd4/A
I share your blood
       Em
I see America
 
           C/G
When I see you
      Dadd4/A
I see love
       Em
I see America
            C/G
I feel your pain
             Dadd4/A
I share your blood
       Em
I see America
