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

I lied about my age

And soon we're shipping off

I looked away from the little one

Tryin' not to cry
