My Love Is In America

Biography:

Fairport Convention is often credited with being one of the first English folk rock bands. Formed in 1967, Fairport rapidly developed from playing cover versions of American 'west coast' music to an individual style which melded rock music with traditional English folk tunes and songs.

Like their peers The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Jefferson Airplane they were blessed with several considerable individual talents and produced music that -at least initially- was eclectic, as well as exploratory.

[Intro]
A D G A
G F#m Em7 D G D G

[Verse]
D G
Called for this place with my working hands
D G
Sea crossing turn my inside
A Em7
Left to the sound of the marching band
D A Em
We sail at the change of the tide

[Verse]
D G
When I saw Mary, her father said
D G
He was sailing across the deep blue
A Em7
Brighter new days in a promised land
D A Em
She would be going there too

[Chorus]
D G
So I keep her in my mind
D G
There's a picture on my wall
A Em7
Oh, my love is in America
D A Em D G D G
My love could be anywhere at all

[Verse]
D G
Oh, how we cried on that darkest night
D G
Everyone leaving the land
A Em7
The old generation just sitting tight
D A Em
And all of us young bucks with plans

[Verse]
D G
I'm using the name of another man
D G
To get a job here for more pay
A Em7
I'll walk these strange streets for a better life
D A Em
London's the place, so they say

[Chorus]
D G
And I keep her in my mind
D G
There's a picture on my wall
A Em7
Oh, my love, she's in America
D A Em
My love could be anywhere at all
E A
Anywhere at all..

[Instrumental]
E A B A E B A

[Verse]
E A
The music's the one thing that's travelled well
E A
We meet up and play from our soul
B A
The kitchen, the work yard and the Seven Bells
E B A
Gives us a glimpse of our homes

[Verse]
E A
Maybe I'll make it to New York state
E A
Maybe I'll just up and go
B A
Maybe I'll get back to my hometown
E B A
See if there's work, I don't know

[Verse]
E A
I sent many a letter to no avail
E A
Her silence is deafening to me
B A
Maybe she lives with another man
E B A
Crossing the new country

[Chorus]
E A
Till I know, I keep her in my mind
E A
There's a picture on my wall
B A
Oh, my love is in America
E B A E
My love could be anywhere at all...
