Chorus:
Goin up to A - G las - D ka Asus4
Up to the G land of the D midnight Asus4 sun
Gi Gi
Where the whale and the polar bear run
Or the F icy blue Cadd2 sea
Asus4
Goin up to A - G las - D ka Asus4
Up to the G north and the D pioneer Asus4 life
Gi Gi
Where courage and strength still sur - vive
And a F man can be Cadd2 free
D
Gi
A - merican child
A Asus4 Gi
Does the call of the wild
Ever F sing thru the mist of your Cadd2 dreams
Gi
Does it fly with the wind
When you Gmaj7 waken G7 again
When it’s C gone do you know what it D means
Gi
Can you picture the time
Gi
When a man had to find
His own F way through an unbroken C land
Gi
Be - fore the machine
Changed the Gmaj7 blue and the G7 green
To C something you can’t under - D stand
Gi
A - merican Child
Gi
There’s a burning inside you
That F calls you away through the Cadd2 cold
Gi
To come back again
To Gmaj7 all that you’ve G7 been
Can’t you C see that it’s time to come D home
Gi
To the flowers and trees
Gi
And the rivers and the seas
And the F earth who’s the mother of C all
Gi
A promise once made
Will it Gmaj7 shine will it G7 fade
Will we C rise with the vision or Asus4 fall
Chorus:
Goin up to A - G las - D ka Asus4
Up to the G land of the D midnight Asus4 sun
Gi Gi
Where the whale and the polar bear run
Or the F icy blue Cadd2 sea
Asus4
Goin up to A - G las - D ka Asus4
Up to the G north and the D pioneer Asus4 life
Gi Gi
Where courage and strength still sur - vive
And a F man can be Cadd2 free
Men can be D free
