CHORUS:
F F7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
A# F
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande
F Dm
Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
F Dm A# C F F F F
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again
VERSE:
F F7
On the Southside of Chicago, a man who’s not yet grown
A# F
Went out for a ride but the car was not his own
F Dm
He did not see the stop sign or the boy on a skateboard
A# C F
Now he’s lying broken on the ground
F F7
Nobody around he coulda, coulda drove away
A# F
But he pulled on over to the curb and he ran out where he lay
F Dm
Used his hoodie for a pillow said “little man you’re gonna be okay”
A# C F
And he waited for the ambulance to come
CHORUS:

Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
F Dm A# C F F F F

VERSE:
F F7
Tender was the night down in the Tenderloin
A# F
In an alley off O’Farrell Street, in the neon glow
F Dm
Well she finally caught that dragon a mile from Chinatown
A# C F
She took her wings and eased her body down
F F7
She gave a little shudder, but no pain, she felt no pain
A# F
And she knew that she was back on home in Morgantown again
F Dm
She could smell the lady slippers and the wild thimble weeds
A# C F
“Mama I was just mad, I never meant to leave”

VERSE:
F F7
Layin’ roof in Texas is the job for someone younger
A# F
And so is catching fastballs from your Grandson in the summer
F Dm
But there you are saying “Come on kid, lemme feel that hummer”
A# C F
With your back and hips and knees on fire
F F7
And he say “Come on Grandpa, when you gonna let me throw a curve?”
A# F
And you’re looking back at him in the sun and you feel your heart is bursting
F Dm
Let me keep him from himself and those that mean to hurt him
A# C F
If that be your will, oh Lord
CHORUS:

VERSE:
F F7
Right there off the interstate in Northwest Ohio
A# F
In the amber waves of grain and the assemblies of crows
F Dm
There rose the two twin spires beside a golden dome
A# C F
The Islamic Mosque of Greater Toledo
F F7
I was flying down the highway when it caught my eye
A# F
I was sipping red cream soda, I was listening to Johnny Prine
F Dm
And I saw that golden dome against a pink and purple sky
A# C F
I was singing “don’t let your baby down”
CHORUS:
F F7
I have seen American flowers all across this land
A# F
From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande

Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
