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

And soon we're shipping off

Soon we're on a plane

And my face was on fire

I looked away from the little one

Tryin' not to cry
