CHORUS:
B B7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
E B
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
B G#m
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
B G#m E F# B B B B
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again
VERSE:
B B7
On the Southside of Chicago, a man who’s not yet grown
E B
Went out for a ride but the car was not his own
B G#m
He did not see the stop sign or the boy on a skateboard
E F# B
Now he’s lying broken on the ground
B B7
Nobody around he coulda, coulda drove away
E B
But he pulled on over to the curb and he ran out where he lay
B G#m
Used his hoodie for a pillow said “little man you’re gonna be okay”
E F# B
And he waited for the ambulance to come

VERSE:
B B7
Tender was the night down in the Tenderloin
E B
In an alley off O’Farrell Street, in the neon glow
B G#m
Well she finally caught that dragon a mile from Chinatown
E F# B
She took her wings and eased her body down
B B7
She gave a little shudder, but no pain, she felt no pain
E B
And she knew that she was back on home in Morgantown again
B G#m
She could smell the lady slippers and the wild thimble weeds
E F# B
“Mama I was just mad, I never meant to leave”

VERSE:
B B7
Layin’ roof in Texas is the job for someone younger
E B
And so is catching fastballs from your Grandson in the summer
B G#m
But there you are saying “Come on kid, lemme feel that hummer”
E F# B
With your back and hips and knees on fire
B B7
And he say “Come on Grandpa, when you gonna let me throw a curve?”
E B
And you’re looking back at him in the sun and you feel your heart is bursting
B G#m
Let me keep him from himself and those that mean to hurt him
E F# B
If that be your will, oh Lord
CHORUS:

VERSE:
B B7
Right there off the interstate in Northwest Ohio
E B
In the amber waves of grain and the assemblies of crows
B G#m
There rose the two twin spires beside a golden dome
E F# B
The Islamic Mosque of Greater Toledo
B B7
I was flying down the highway when it caught my eye
E B
I was sipping red cream soda, I was listening to Johnny Prine
B G#m
And I saw that golden dome against a pink and purple sky
E F# B
I was singing “don’t let your baby down”
CHORUS:
