Lyrics
In A (A7)mer i ca you get (Dm)food to eat;
won’t have to (C7sus4)run through the jun gle and (Bb)scuff up your (F)feet.
You just (A7)sing a bout Je sus and (Dm)drink wine all day.
It’s great to (C7sus4)be an A mer i can.
Ain’t no (F5)li ons or ti gers, ain’t (F5)no mam ba snake,
just the sweet wa ter mel on and a (F5)buck wheat cake.
Ev ’ry (F5)bod y is as hap py as a (F5)man can be.
Climb a board, lit tle wog, sail a (F5)way with me.
Sail a (F)way,
sail a (Bb)way.
We will (B)cross the might y o cean in to Charles ton Bay.
Sail a (F)way,
sail a (Bb)way,
and we will (B)cross the (Dm7)might y o cean in to the (C7sus4)Charles ton (F5)Bay.
In A (F5)mer i ca ev ’ry (F5)man is free
to take care of his home and his (F5)fam i ly.
You’ll be (F5)hap py as a mon key in a (F5)mon key tree.
You’re all gon na be an A mer i can.
Sail a (F5)Bay.
