[A] [E]
[D] [C#m] [B] [C#] [A]
[B] Have you ever spent the late [A] afternoon [B] watching the purple shadows deepen in the Arizona [E] desert?
Or seen a herd of [B] elk plow their way through waist-deep [G#] snow on a [B] cold [D] Colorado dawn?
Did you ever see the sun go down in Hawaii [A] or see the [G] stormy [E] waves break over the rock-bound coast of Maine?
Or have you ever seen an eagle fly up out of the mists of Alaska
or a big October moon hanging full over the still Dakota [A] Badlands?
[E] Have you ever tasted the [D] gumbo in New Orleans, barbecue in Carolina, or the chicken wings in Buffalo?
[E] Have you ever had brunsic [A] stew in Macon [E] or cornbread in Birmingham
[E] or [A] brisket [Bm] slow-cooked [A] over hill [E] country mesquite wood?
[A] Did you ever drink the water from a gurgling branch in Utah
[E] or stand on the mountain above El Paso del Norte and see the lights twinkling clear over in New Mexico?
Did you ever [D] jingle horses in the pre-dawn stillness of a perfect Texas day
and watch their [A] shod [G] hooves kicking up [E] sparks on the volcanic rock?
Or attended a trot line on a foggy Carolina morning
[A] or heard the distant song of a lovesick whippoorwill in the pristine Tennessee late night?
[E] Have you seen the faces on Mount Rushmore or stood at the Vietnam Monument?
[D] Have you ever crossed the mighty Mississippi or been to the Daddy of Mall in [E] Cheyenne, Wyoming?
Or seen the mighty balls run out on the football field on a [A] chilly autumn afternoon?
Did you ever see the Chicago [E] skyline from Lake [A] Shore Drive at [E] night
or the New England foliage in the fall or the summer beauty of the Shenandoah Valley
[D] or Indiana covered with new snow?
Did you ever see a herd of wild horses running free [B] across the empty spaces in [E] Nevada
or [B] caught a walleye pike out of a [E] cold Wisconsin [A] stream
or [E] [A] marveled at the tall [E] ships docked in the [E] harbor at Baltimore?
[A]
[Em] [A] Did you [E] ever see the early morning dew [D] sparkling on the bluegrass
or the wind stir the wheat fields on a hot [D] Kansas afternoon
or [E] driven the [A] lonely [E] stretches of old Route 66?
[F#m] [E] Have you ever [F#m] heard the church [E] bells peal [A] their call to [E] worship on an early Sunday
in [A] some small town in the deep south
or passed [E] through the redwood forest as the sun was going down?
Have you ever been to Boise or [A] Baxley or [E] Beaufort or Billings?
[D] Have you ever passed through Sanford or Suffolk or San Angelo?
Have you ever seen the [G] falls at [E] Niagara, the Ice Palace in St.
Paul or the Gateway to the West?
This then is America, [A] the [E] land God blesses with everything.
[F#m] And [E] no Eiffel [A] Tower, [E] no Taj [A] Mahal, no Alps, no Andes, no Native Hut,
nor Royal [E] Palace can rival her awesome beauty,
her diverse population, her [F#m] monolithic [E] majesty.
[D] America the free, America the mighty, America the beautiful.
[C#] [G] [E]
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
