_ _ [Bb] And now, it's going to be my great, very great privilege to sing for you a song that's never
been [Bbm] sung before [Ab] by anybody.
[Fm] One that [Bb] was written [Ab] especially for me [Ebm] by one of the greatest [Bbm] composers [Ab] in the music field today.
It's something more than a song.
[Db] I feel it's one of the most [C] beautiful compositions that was [Dbm] ever written.
A song that will never die.
[Ebm] The author, Mr.
Irving Berlin.
The title, [Ab] God Bless America. _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] While the storm [Ebm] clouds _ gather [Ab] _ [C] far [Ab]
across [Bbm] the [Db] sea,
[Bbm] _ _ Let us swear [Ebm] _ allegiance [Ab] to our land [Db] that's free.
_ _ [F] Let us [Ebm] all be grateful _ [Bb] that we're far from [Fm] there,
_ _ [Bbm] _ As [Bb] we raise [Ab] our voices [Cm] _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ in [Cm] a solemn _ [C]
prayer.
[B] _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _ God bless [Ab] America, _ _ _ [Gb] land that [Ab]
[Db] I love.
[Gb] Stand beside her [Eb]
[Db] and guide her,
Through [G] the [Cm] night with a [C] light [Db] from above.
[Ab] From the mountains, [Db] to the prairies,
[Ab] To the ocean, [Db] white with [E] _ [B] _ [Db] _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _
[Bbm] America,
[Gbm] _ [Db] My [Ab] home, [Db] sweet _ [A] home.
