Verse 1: 
      D                          G 
 	 By your way,i've often traveled 
      A                      D 
 	 Magic mother of the pearl 
                                  G 
 	 Watched your mysteries unravel 
      A                          D     
 	 While each foamy wave uncurled 
                                       G 
 	 Neath' my soles the sands of freedom 
      A                           D 
 	 Fertile valleys,moutains high 
                                  G   
 	 Blistered by the blazing sunshine 
      A                            D  
 	 Mellowed by the moonlight night 
 
 	  
Chorus: 
      D                        G   
 	 Mighty measure of the Maker 
      A                       D 
 	 With your open arms unfurled 
                            G  
 	 America,you are my woman 
      A                     D   
 	 America,you are my world 
 
 
Verse 2: 
      D                               G   
 	 Many worlds and dreams i've traveled 
      A                             D 
 	 Sliding softly through the night 
                                       G 
 	 Scanned through silicones and cycles 
      A                            D 
 	 Mirrored low your emerald life 
                                 G 
 	 When my days on earth return to 
      A                            D 
 	 Dust from whence my body weighs 
                                   G 
 	 Will my soul could always carry 
      A                                     D 
 	 Where the Saint's first flight was made 
 
 
Chorus.
