Intro
C# C# C# C#
CHORUS:
C# C#7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
F# C#
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
C# A#m
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
C# A#m F# G# C# C# C# C#
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again
VERSE:
C# C#7
On the Southside of Chicago, a man who’s not yet grown
F# C#
Went out for a ride but the car was not his own
C# A#m
He did not see the stop sign or the boy on a skateboard
F# G# C#
Now he’s lying broken on the ground
C# C#7
Nobody around he coulda, coulda drove away
F# C#
But he pulled on over to the curb and he ran out where he lay
C# A#m
Used his hoodie for a pillow said “little man you’re gonna be okay”
F# G# C#
And he waited for the ambulance to come
CHORUS:
C# C#7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
F# C#
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
C# A#m
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
C# A#m F# G# C# C# C# C#
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again
VERSE:
C# C#7
Tender was the night down in the Tenderloin
F# C#
In an alley off O’Farrell Street, in the neon glow
C# A#m
Well she finally caught that dragon a mile from Chinatown
F# G# C#
She took her wings and eased her body down
C# C#7
She gave a little shudder, but no pain, she felt no pain
F# C#
And she knew that she was back on home in Morgantown again
C# A#m
She could smell the lady slippers and the wild thimble weeds
F# G# C#
“Mama I was just mad, I never meant to leave”
CHORUS:
C# C#7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
F# C#
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
C# A#m
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men

VERSE:
C# C#7
Layin’ roof in Texas is the job for someone younger
F# C#
And so is catching fastballs from your Grandson in the summer
C# A#m
But there you are saying “Come on kid, lemme feel that hummer”
F# G# C#
With your back and hips and knees on fire
C# C#7
And he say “Come on Grandpa, when you gonna let me throw a curve?”
F# C#
And you’re looking back at him in the sun and you feel your heart is bursting
C# A#m
Let me keep him from himself and those that mean to hurt him
F# G# C#
If that be your will, oh Lord
CHORUS:
C# C#7

VERSE:
C# C#7
Right there off the interstate in Northwest Ohio
F# C#
In the amber waves of grain and the assemblies of crows
C# A#m
There rose the two twin spires beside a golden dome
F# G# C#
The Islamic Mosque of Greater Toledo
C# C#7
I was flying down the highway when it caught my eye
F# C#
I was sipping red cream soda, I was listening to Johnny Prine
C# A#m
And I saw that golden dome against a pink and purple sky
F# G# C#
I was singing “don’t let your baby down”
CHORUS:
C# C#7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
F# C#
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
C# A#m
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
