America from West side story with lyrics chords

[G]
Puerto Rico, [Cm] my heart's [G] devotion, let it sink back in the ocean.
Always the hurricanes blowing, [C] population growing,

And the sunlight streaming, and the natives steaming.
[Fm] I
[Eb] know [Fm] you're on [C] your way!
[F] [C]
[G] [Cm] [Gm]
[Ab] For a small fee [C] in America.
Uncredit is so nice.
Wanna get us [G] energized twice.

What will [E] you have though to keep clean?
[G] [Dm] [C]
Sky's favorite blue [F] in America.

Lots of new housing with more space.
Lots of doors [D] slamming in [Dm] our face.
Better [Bb] get rid of your [G] accent.
[C] Life can be bright in [F] America.
[C] If you can [G] fight in America.

If you're all [C] white in America.

Organized crime in America.
