Verse 1
  D                               G
A wise man was telling stories to me
          A                             G               D
about the places he had been to and the things that had seen


Chorus
    D                                 G
A quiet voice is singing something to me
   A                                    G                D
An age old song 'bout the brave in this land here of the free,
    G        A             D
One time one night in America 


Verse 2
  D     
A lady dressed in white with the man she loves 
                                         G
Standing along the side of their pick up truck
  D                    G 
A shot rang out in the night
          D                 G
Just when everything seemed right
        D                A            D
Another headline written down in America


Verse 3
    D
The guy that lived next door in three o five
                                                          G
took the kids to the park and disappeared 'bout half past nine 
D             G        D                   G
Who will ever know how much she loved them so
D                A            D
That dark night alone in America


Chorus
    D                                 G
A quiet voice is singing something to me
   A                                    G                D
An age old song 'bout the brave in this land here of the free,
    G        A             D
One time one night in America 


Verse 4
D
Four small boys playing ball in the parking lot
                                              G
A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop
  D                    G
A car skidded into the rain
           D                 G
Making the last little one a saint
D                   A           D
One more light goes out in America 


Verse 5
  D     
A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well
                                                       G
She hopes for a heaven while for her there's just this hell
    D             G         D               G
She gave away her life to become somebody's wife
 D             A                D
Another wish unanswered in America


*Bridge*
A
People having so much faith
                   G                 D
Die too soon while all the rest come late
   A    
We write a song that no one sings
                              G                          A
On a cold black stone where a lasting peace will finally bring

The sunlight plays upon my window pane

I wake up to a world that's still the same
   D                 G
My father said to be strong
       D                       G
That a good man could never do wrong
     D                A             D
In a dream I had last night in America

about the places he had been to and the things that had seen

An age old song 'bout the brave in this land here of the free,

One time one night in America
