What is America to me

The house I live in a plot of earth, the street  
     Gm6           D              F              D  
The grocer and the butcher or the people that I meet  
        A7               D          A7          Bm

The little town the city where my people lived and died  
    A7            D             A7             Bm  
The howdy and the handshake the air a feeling free  
    G                   D                 A7       D

The things I see about me the big things and the small  
    D7            G                D7           G  
The little corner newsstand or the house a mile tall  
    Em7              Bm             F#7              Bm  
The wedding and the churchyard the laughter and the tears  
A                                                 E7       A
