Intro
G G G G
CHORUS:
G G7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
C G
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
G Em
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
G Em C D G G G G
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again
VERSE:
G G7
On the Southside of Chicago, a man who’s not yet grown
C G
Went out for a ride but the car was not his own
G Em
He did not see the stop sign or the boy on a skateboard
C D G
Now he’s lying broken on the ground
G G7
Nobody around he coulda, coulda drove away
C G
But he pulled on over to the curb and he ran out where he lay
G Em
Used his hoodie for a pillow said “little man you’re gonna be okay”
C D G
And he waited for the ambulance to come
CHORUS:
G G7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
C G
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
G Em
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
G Em C D G G G G
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again
VERSE:
G G7
Tender was the night down in the Tenderloin
C G
In an alley off O’Farrell Street, in the neon glow
G Em
Well she finally caught that dragon a mile from Chinatown
C D G
She took her wings and eased her body down
G G7
She gave a little shudder, but no pain, she felt no pain
C G
And she knew that she was back on home in Morgantown again
G Em
She could smell the lady slippers and the wild thimble weeds
C D G
“Mama I was just mad, I never meant to leave”
CHORUS:

I have seen American flowers all across this land

From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande

VERSE:
G G7
Layin’ roof in Texas is the job for someone younger
C G
And so is catching fastballs from your Grandson in the summer
G Em
But there you are saying “Come on kid, lemme feel that hummer”
C D G
With your back and hips and knees on fire
G G7
And he say “Come on Grandpa, when you gonna let me throw a curve?”
C G
And you’re looking back at him in the sun and you feel your heart is bursting
G Em
Let me keep him from himself and those that mean to hurt him
C D G
If that be your will, oh Lord
CHORUS:
G G7
I have seen American flowers all across this land

From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande

Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men

INSTRUMENTAL:
G G7 C G G Em C D G G G G G
VERSE:
G G7
Right there off the interstate in Northwest Ohio
C G
In the amber waves of grain and the assemblies of crows
G Em
There rose the two twin spires beside a golden dome
C D G
The Islamic Mosque of Greater Toledo
G G7
I was flying down the highway when it caught my eye
C G
I was sipping red cream soda, I was listening to Johnny Prine
G Em
And I saw that golden dome against a pink and purple sky
C D G
I was singing “don’t let your baby down”
CHORUS:
G G7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
C G
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
G Em
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
