Okay, I'll do the [D#] free.
Oh, okay, great.
I wrote this because [F] people think I wrote it
about [Cm] immigration and I really wrote it because I had [A] friends that were
separated [D#] by international [A#] borders.
I [F#] did not know that you can get a
[A#] education visa and [G] a work visa, a health [D] visa, but you cannot get a love visa.
Love visa.
[F#] This sounds like a Barry White [N] song.
Love visa.
I want to stamp your love [A#] visa, baby.
[G] Can't believe I said that.
[D#] [F#m] [F#m]
The sun doesn't care [E] on which side of the river.
[A#] It lays its [E] head [G#] down [E] for rest.
[A] She is waiting for [E] me in [G#m] the land of [C#] the free.
[C#m] Well, it's [A] ironic to [E] me, I guess.
[B]
And look how the [E] seabirds fly over [B] the borderline.
They never [C#m] have to spend a [B] dime to have a [A] home.
Now look [E] at the shape I'm in.
My [B] emotions are paper thin.
[C#] [C#m] They're gonna send me back again.
That's the [A] way that it goes.
Over [E] the water, over [B] the mountains, [B] over [C#m] and over.
[E] [A] She waits for me only [E] in heaven.
There are no borders.
[B] Only [C#m] in heaven, [B] the land of [A] the free.
[E] [A] If I had only [E] caught that boat 300 [B] years ago,
[C] there'd be [C#] no papers to [B] show, not [A] even my name.
And I [E] cannot comprehend what [B] they feel they must defend.
[Cm] Because they [C#m] all [B] pretend we're all created [A] the same.
Over [E] the water, over [B] the mountains, [C#m] over and [E] over.
[C#m] She waits [A] for me only [E] in heaven.
There are [B] no borders.
[A#] Only [C#m] in heaven, [E] the land [A] of the free.
