CHORUS:
C C7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
F C
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
C Am
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
C Am F G C C C C
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again
VERSE:
C C7
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 Am
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 C7
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 Am
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:

VERSE:
C C7
Tender was the night down in the Tenderloin
F C
In an alley off O’Farrell Street, in the neon glow
C Am
Well she finally caught that dragon a mile from Chinatown
F G C
She took her wings and eased her body down
C C7
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 Am
She could smell the lady slippers and the wild thimble weeds
F G C
“Mama I was just mad, I never meant to leave”

VERSE:
C C7
Layin’ roof in Texas is the job for someone younger
F C
And so is catching fastballs from your Grandson in the summer
C Am
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 C7
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 Am
Let me keep him from himself and those that mean to hurt him
F G C
If that be your will, oh Lord
CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL:
C C7 F C C Am F G C C C C C
VERSE:
C C7
Right there off the interstate in Northwest Ohio
F C
In the amber waves of grain and the assemblies of crows
C Am
There rose the two twin spires beside a golden dome
F G C
The Islamic Mosque of Greater Toledo
C C7
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 Am
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:

I have seen American flowers all across this land

From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
