[G] [D] [A]
I've [A] traveled all [D] around this country, in my [A] time I thought I'd [D] seen it all.
[G] But today I [A] took a detour [Bm] down a back road, [D] [E] through a little town whose name I [A] can't call.
[D] There were old men [A] on beaches [D] playing checkers, and children [A] playing hopscotch [D] on the square.
[G] And high above [A] a statue [Bm] of an unknown [G] soldier, [D] old glory [A] was waving in [D] the air.
[Bm] Suddenly [G] I [D] realized what I'd too long forgotten, [Bm] a chill rose [G] up like mountains on [A] my skin.
[Bm] Overcome [G] with a feeling, [D] I knew [G] I was seeing [D] America [A] all over [D] again.
[G] [A] Americana, [G] pictures [A] of a people [D] proud and free.
[G] Americana, [Em]
[A] I'll keep holding [Bm] to the dream.
[D] [G] You're still [A] what living [D] means to me.
[G] [D]
[A]
You just [A] thought you'd throw me off [D] my schedule, but I parked [A] around behind [D] Five and Dime.
[G] There's something [A] about a small town [Bm] in the summer, [A] [E] like the Norman Rockwell picture [A] back in time.
[D] Kids recording [A] Netflix, also [D] the Fountain, like we did before [A] they built the [D] shopping mall.
I [G] saw so [A] many reasons [Bm] why I love [G] this country, [D] you know some things [A] never really [D] change at all.
[Bm] As I left the two [G] lane road and pulled [D] back on that super highway, [Bm] I thought of what [G] I'd seen back in [A] that town.
[Bm] And it hit me [G] like a freight train, [D] that a stone's throw [G] from the fast lane.
[D] America [A] is still safe [D] and sound.
[G] [A] Americana, [G] pictures of [A] a people proud [D] and free.
Americana, [G] [Em] I'll [A] keep holding to the [Bm] dream.
