   Am G C G E

Verse 1:
Am                                   G        C
Everything that made you great only made you bad
                 G                      E E F G E  
Made the people hate all the good they had
Am
I know that you had big dreams
         G         C
That you had big plans
                 G
But abuse won't make
                   E E F G E  
Won't make a free land

Pre-Chorus 1:
            Am
You got a white picket fence and your dad's got a gun
    G         C
And when you see the police there's no reason to run
          Dm7
You got a job, and a car, and a good dental plan
          E
You got health insurance, pocket money
E F G E  
Damn

Chorus:
F
America

                    Dm7
You can't bury the truth

It's time to pay your dues
Am
America
         G    C
This is a new America
                      Dm7
Stars are shining for you
           E        E F G E  
Sparkling red and blue

Verse 2:
Am
xxxxеd with the food chain
                G        C
xxxxed with the farming too
                         G
And now our food don't tastе
                   E E F G E  
Like it's meant to do

Pre-Chorus 2:
              Am
They've got blood on their hands

'Cause they stole all the land
    G        C
And all the lies they're here to raise
Made them feel like a man
              Dm7
Who gave you jazz, hip-hop, rock and roll, and the blues?
           E                            -nc-
No matter what, the story's catching up on you

Am
America

                    Dm7
You can't bury the truth
              E          E F G E  
It's time to pay your dues
Am
America
         G    C
This is a new America
                      Dm7
Stars are shining for you
           E        E F G E  
Sparkling red and blue

Bridge:
C       E    Am     F
White teeth, dark smile
C       E    Am     F
You've been in pain for a while
C          E          Am            E
You can't hide your secrets we can see

Chorus:
Am
America
         G    C
America, America
                    Dm7
You can't bury the truth
              E          -nc-
It's time to pay your dues

Stars are shining for you
                    E         E F G E
'Cause freedom's sparkling soon -Oh-
