[Verse 1]
D#m
In America, in America.
G#m A#m
I poured my sweat in America
D#m
This land is my land
D#m
It's America
G#m A#m
I broke my back for America
D#m
All of money I make
D#m
All of these chances I take
G#m A#m
Just paying my rent in America
D#m
Won't just stand around
G#m
Watch it go down
D#m
Won't just stand around
G#m A#m
Watch it go down
[Chorus]
D#m
But maybe it's a long shot
B
Maybe it's a fantasy
G#m
We've given it all that we've got
A#m
Maybe we can live a dream
Oh, oh
D#m B
Can we build a new life was it ever meant that we...
G#m
Could make it in America
A#m
Make it in America
[Verse 2]
D#m
In America, in America
G#m A#m
They say I'm free in America
D#m
In America, in America
G#m A#m
I still can't breath in America
D#m
Watch them squeezing my neck
D#m
Watch them bullets connect
G#m
We still gon' fight in America
D#m
Won't just stand around
D#m
Can't watch it go down
D#m
Won't just stand around
G#m A#m
Watch it go down
[Chorus]
D#m
But maybe it's a long shot
B
Maybe it's a fantasy
G#m
We've given it all that we've got
A#m
Maybe we can live a dream
Oh, oh
D#m B
Can we build a new life was it ever meant that we...
G#m
Could make it in America
A#m
Make it in America
[Bridge]

A#m
We'll make it in America
D#m
We'll make it in America

We'll make it in America
A#m
We'll make it in America
[Outro]

In America, in America

My hopes right here in America
G#m
In America, in America
A#m
My hope, my prayer in America
