[Verse]
Bm G
We speak in broken American
E G
From the inlands to the shores
Bm G
From the high plains to the bad lands
E G
From the mountains to the valley floor
bm G
And the streets were now paved with gold
E G
Every man would find a wage
Bm G
But now I don't know where to go
E G Bm
To work the live-long day
[Chorus]
D A
Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
F#m Bm
Back to my sweet land, oh oh oh
D A
Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
Bm G E G
Back to my sweet land
[Verse 2]
Bm G
We speak in broken American
E G
From the inlands to the shore
Bm g
They tell us how the west was won
E G
And what to fight for
Bm G
And they say they wouldn't send us far
E G
Yet if most of us could stay
Bm G
We speak in Broken American
E G Bm
And we got the news today
[Chorus 2]
D A
Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
F#m Bm
Back to my sweet land, oh oh oh

Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh

Back to my sweet land

Em C
So I've signed on
Em G
I lied about my age
Em C
And soon we're shipping off
G Bm
Soon we're on a plane

You kissed my cheeks
Em G
And my face was on fire
Em C G
I looked away from the little one
Bm
Tryin' not to cry
