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
Chorus 1:
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?
Chorus 2
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

Bridge 3:
F Bb
The kid I was when I first left home
F Bb

F Bb
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet
F Bb C
When the truth was known
Chorus 3:
C
I have prayed for America
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
