[Verse]
G#m E
We speak in broken American
C# E
From the inlands to the shores
G#m E
From the high plains to the bad lands
C# E
From the mountains to the valley floor
bm E
And the streets were now paved with gold
C# E
Every man would find a wage
G#m E
But now I don't know where to go
C# E G#m
To work the live-long day
[Chorus]
B F#
Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
D#m G#m
Back to my sweet land, oh oh oh
B F#
Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
G#m E C# E
Back to my sweet land

G#m E
We speak in broken American
C# E
From the inlands to the shore
G#m g
They tell us how the west was won
C# E
And what to fight for
G#m E
And they say they wouldn't send us far
C# E
Yet if most of us could stay
G#m E
We speak in Broken American
C# E G#m
And we got the news today
[Chorus 2]
B F#
Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
D#m G#m
Back to my sweet land, oh oh oh

So I've signed on
C#m E
I lied about my age
C#m A
And soon we're shipping off

And my face was on fire

I looked away from the little one

Tryin' not to cry
