CHORUS:
A A7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
D A
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
A F#m
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
A F#m D E A A A A
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again
VERSE:
A A7
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 F#m
He did not see the stop sign or the boy on a skateboard
D E A
Now he’s lying broken on the ground
A A7
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 F#m
Used his hoodie for a pillow said “little man you’re gonna be okay”
D E A
And he waited for the ambulance to come
CHORUS:

From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
A F#m
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
A F#m D E A A A A

VERSE:
A A7
Tender was the night down in the Tenderloin
D A
In an alley off O’Farrell Street, in the neon glow
A F#m
Well she finally caught that dragon a mile from Chinatown
D E A
She took her wings and eased her body down
A A7
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 F#m
She could smell the lady slippers and the wild thimble weeds
D E A
“Mama I was just mad, I never meant to leave”

VERSE:
A A7
Layin’ roof in Texas is the job for someone younger
D A
And so is catching fastballs from your Grandson in the summer
A F#m
But there you are saying “Come on kid, lemme feel that hummer”
D E A
With your back and hips and knees on fire
A A7
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 F#m
Let me keep him from himself and those that mean to hurt him
D E A
If that be your will, oh Lord
CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL:
A A7 D A A F#m D E A A A A A
VERSE:
A A7
Right there off the interstate in Northwest Ohio
D A
In the amber waves of grain and the assemblies of crows
A F#m
There rose the two twin spires beside a golden dome
D E A
The Islamic Mosque of Greater Toledo
A A7
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 F#m
And I saw that golden dome against a pink and purple sky
D E A
I was singing “don’t let your baby down”
CHORUS:
A A7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
D A
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
A F#m
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
