_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ From [Em] the Indians, _ _ _ [F] welcome [B] the _ pilgrims
_ [F#m] _ _
[Em] Into the buffalo, _ _ along [B] through the _ plains
_ _ Like [Em] the [Em] vultures, _ _ circling [B] beneath the dark clouds
_ [F#m] Looking for [E] some rain, _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [A] _ _ looking for [F#m] the rain _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Em] Just like the _ cities, _ _ _ [D] starboard [B] or the _ coastline _ _ _
[Em] In the nation, they just [A] can't stand [Bm] much more
_ _ [D] _ Like [Em] the forest, _ _ buried [B] _
beneath the highway
[Bm] Never had a [E] chance to grow, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ never had a chance [F#m] to grow _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ And [D] _ now [Bm] it's [Em] winter, _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ winter in [Em] _ America
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] And _ _
[A] all the _ healers have been _ [Em] killed _ or sent [B] _ away _ _ _ _
The people [E] know, the people know [Em] it's winter
_ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ Winter in [Em] _ America _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ And [E] ain't _ nobody fighting _ _
[F#m] Cause [F#m] _ _ [B] nobody knows what to [Em] say
_ _ _ Save yourself, [B] _ the Lord knows
[F#] _ [F#m] Winter in [Bm] _ America _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ The _ Constitution, _ _ _ ennobled [B] each of people
_ _ With free [Em] _ society, _ started [Bm] by the dying king
_ [C#] And [B] now [Em] democracy, _ is right [Bm] there on the corner
_ _ [F#m] Hoping for [D] some [A] rain
_ _ _ Just _ _ _ like it's [G] hoping for [F#m] some rain _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ I [F#] see the _ [Em] _ _ ruffians, [Bm] bursting down _ treetops _ _ _ _
Watching the last ditch, [E] racists marching [B] across the floor
_ But just [Em] like the peace, sand [Bm] vanished in our dreams
Never had a [E] chance to grow, _ _ [C#] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] never had a chance [F#m] to grow _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Em] _ And now it's winter, _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ winter in [E] _ America _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] And all [E] the _ healers _ _ have been _ killed _ or may [F#] be _ freed
_ The _
[B] people [Em] know, the people know it's better
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ Lord knows [B] it's winter in _ America
_ _ [Bm] _ And _ _ _ _ ain't [F#m] _ _
