Vers 1:

[Dm]As if i really didnt understand
T[Bb]hat i was just another part of their plan
I wen[C]t 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]The kid I was when I first left h[Bb]ome
[F]Was looking for his freedom and a life of his [Bb]own
[F]But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as [Bb]sweet
[F]When the truth was known[Bb][C]

Chorus 1:

[C]I have prayed for America
[Am]I was made for America
[Bb]It's in my blood and in my bones
By the dawn's early ligh[Bb]t[-][C]
By all I know is right[Bb][-][C]
We're going to reap what we have sown[Bb][-][C]

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]The thing I wonder about the Dads[Bb] and Moms
[F]Who send their sons to the Vietna[Bb]ms
[F]Will they really think their way [Bb]of life
[F]Has been protected as the next wa[Bb]r comes?[C]

Chorus 2

[C]I have prayed for America
[Am]I was made for America
[Bb]Her shining dream plays in my mind
By the rockets red glare[Bb][-][C]
A generation's blank sta[Bb]re[-][C]
We better wake her up th[Bb]is [-]ti[C]me

Bridge 3:

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

Chorus 3:

[C]I have prayed for America
[Am]I was made for America
[Bb]I can't let go till she comes around
Until the land of the fr[Bb]ee[-][C]
Is awake and can see[Bb][-][C]
And until her conscience[Bb] ha[-]s [C]been found
