Intro G G C G

^GWe were poor But I was ^Gsatisfied And I ^Cthought that you were, to^Go

You were ^Gpure And I was ^Gterrified I wasn't ^Cgood enough for yo^Gu

When they ^Gsailed Into the ^Gharbour I could ^Csee it in your eye^Gs

I ^Gknew That you were ^Emdreaming Of ^Cleaving me behi^Gnd

Chorus

^GYou say ^D"America is be^Gautiful" And ^DI sure hope you're ^Emright If I could ^Dsee you across the ^Gwater I'd say &^Cquot;Americ^Da is beautif^Emul tonight" I'd say &^Cquot;Americ^Da is beautiful^G tonight"

Bridge G G C G

When I ^Gmet That Yankee ^Gsailor He stood ^Ctall and shook my ha^Gnd

He took ^Gpleasure In the ^Gmoment In the ^Cmeasure of a ma^Gn

Then he ^Gturned And left me ^Gstanding And he ^Casked you out to dan^Gce

But when you ^Gmet That Yankee sai^Emlor I knew I d^Cidn't stand a chance^G

^GYou say ^D"America is beaut^Giful" And ^DI sure hope you're ^Emright If I could ^Dsee you across the ^Gwater I'd say &^Cquot;Americ^Da is beautif^Emul tonight" I'd say &^Cquot;Americ^Da is beautiful^G tonight"

^GWe were poor But I was ^Gsatisfied And I ^Cthought that you were, to^Go

You were ^Gpure And I was ^Gterrified I wasn't ^Cgood enough for yo^Gu
