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.
