Vers 1: 
  
Dm 
As if i really didnt understand 
 Bb 
That i was just another part of their plan  
     C 
I went off looking for the promise 
Dm 
Believing in the Motherland 

Vers 2: 

Dm 
And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed 
Bb 
And the safety of my own head 
C 
I went on speaking of the future 
Dm 
While other people fought and bled  

Bridge 1: 

F                                Bb 
The kid I was when I first left home 
F                                             Bb 
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own 
F                                             Bb 
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet 
F                                Bb     C 
When the truth was known 


[Refrão]

C 
I have prayed for America 
Am 
I was made for America 
Bb 
It's in my blood and in my bones 
                        Bb - C 
By the dawn's early light 
                        Bb - C 
By all I know is right 
                                     Bb - C 
We're going to reap what we have sown 

Dm - Bb - C - Dm x 1 

Vers 4 

Dm 
As if freedom was a question of might 
Bb 
As if loyalty was black and white 
C 
You hear people say it all the time- 
Dm 
"My country wrong or right" 

Vers 5 

Dm 
I want to know what that's got to do 
Bb 
With what it takes to find out what's true 
C 
With everyone from the President on down 
Dm 
Trying to keep it from you 

Bridge 2 

F                                Bb 
The thing I wonder about the Dads and Moms 
F                                Bb 
Who send their sons to the Vietnams 
F                                Bb 
Will they really think their way of life 
F                                Bb       C 
Has been protected as the next war comes? 


[Refrão]

C 
I have prayed for America 
Am 
I was made for America 
Bb 
Her shining dream plays in my mind 
                        Bb - C 
By the rockets red glare 
                        Bb - C 
A generation's blank stare 
                        Bb - C 
We better wake her up this time 

Dm - Bb - C - Dm x 1

F                                Bb

Am 
I was made for America 
Bb 
I can't let go till she comes around 
                        Bb - C 
Until the land of the free 
                        Bb - C 
Is awake and can see 
                        Bb - C 
And until her conscience has been found 

Dm - Bb - C - Dm x 1
