Intro
A# A# A# A#
CHORUS:
A# A#7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
D# A#
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
A# Gm
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
A# Gm D# F A# A# A# A#
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again
VERSE:
A# A#7
On the Southside of Chicago, a man who’s not yet grown
D# A#
Went out for a ride but the car was not his own
A# Gm
He did not see the stop sign or the boy on a skateboard
D# F A#
Now he’s lying broken on the ground
A# A#7
Nobody around he coulda, coulda drove away
D# A#
But he pulled on over to the curb and he ran out where he lay
A# Gm
Used his hoodie for a pillow said “little man you’re gonna be okay”
D# F A#
And he waited for the ambulance to come
CHORUS:
A# A#7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
D# A#
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
A# Gm
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
A# Gm D# F A# A# A# A#
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again
VERSE:
A# A#7
Tender was the night down in the Tenderloin
D# A#
In an alley off O’Farrell Street, in the neon glow
A# Gm
Well she finally caught that dragon a mile from Chinatown
D# F A#
She took her wings and eased her body down
A# A#7
She gave a little shudder, but no pain, she felt no pain
D# A#
And she knew that she was back on home in Morgantown again
A# Gm
She could smell the lady slippers and the wild thimble weeds
D# F A#
“Mama I was just mad, I never meant to leave”
CHORUS:
A# A#7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
D# A#
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
A# Gm
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
A# Gm D# F A# A#
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again
VERSE:
A# A#7
Layin’ roof in Texas is the job for someone younger
D# A#
And so is catching fastballs from your Grandson in the summer
A# Gm
But there you are saying “Come on kid, lemme feel that hummer”
D# F A#
With your back and hips and knees on fire
A# A#7
And he say “Come on Grandpa, when you gonna let me throw a curve?”
D# A#
And you’re looking back at him in the sun and you feel your heart is bursting
A# Gm
Let me keep him from himself and those that mean to hurt him
D# F A#
If that be your will, oh Lord
CHORUS:
A# A#7
I have seen American flowers all across this land

From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande

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