American Soul

	  		
Em 
Blessed are the bullies 
For one day they will have to stand up to themselves 
Em 
Blessed are the liars 
For the truth can be awkward 

( Em  A ) 

Em 
It's not a place 
                   A 
This country is to me a sound 
Em 
Of drum and bass 
               A              Em 
You close your eyes to look around 

Em 
Look around, look around 
Em     A             Em 
Look around, it's a sound 
        Em 
Look around, look around 
         A 
It's a sound 

Em 
It's not a place 
            A 
This country is to me a thought 
             G      D 
That offers grace 
           A              Em 
For every welcome that is sought 

Em       Bm 
You are rock and roll 
Em            A 
You and I are rock and roll 
Em 
You are rock and roll 
Em 
Came here looking for American soul 

Em 
It's not a place 
Em          A 
This is a dream the whole world owns 
Em 
The pilgrim's face 
Em           A                 Em 
It had your heart to call her home 

Em        G 
Dream on 
 G               A 
dreams get me sleepin' 

( Bm  D ) 

Em       Bm 
You are rock and roll 
Em            A 
You and I are rock and roll 
Em 
You are rock and roll 
Em 
Came here looking for American soul 

( Em  Bm )
