Roger McGuinn (born James McGuinn III) is most famous for being a founding member, singer, guitarist, and songwriter in The Byrds. Since that band's demise he has had moderate success as a solo artist, working with many other artists, including Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. Some of his solo material has appeared in films, such as 1969's Easy Rider. Roger, along with the other Byrds members, was honored with an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.

Roger McGuinn America For Me Henry Van Dyke/Roger McGuinn
ABmEAC#mF#m It's fine to see the old world and travel up and down DEA Among the famous palaces and cities of renown BmEAC#mF#m To admire crumbling castles and the statues of the kings DEA But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things BmEAC#mF#m So it's home home again America for me DEA My heart is turning home again it's where I want to be BmEAC#mF#m In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean wide DEA Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag full of stars BmEAC#mF#m Oh London is a man's town there's power in the air DEA And Paris is a woman's town with flowers in her hair BmEAC#mF#m And it's sweet to dream in Venice it's great to study Rome DEA But when it comes to living there's no place like home BmEAC#mF#m^? So it's home home again America for me DEA My heart is turning home again it's where I want to be BmEAC#mF#m In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean wide DEA Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag full of stars BmEAC#mF#m I know Europe's wonderful yet something seems to lack DEA The past is too much with her and the people looking back BmEAC#mF#m Oh the glory of the present is to make the future free DEA We love our land for what she is and what she is to be BmEAC#mF#m So it's home home again America for me DEA My heart is turning home again it's where I want to be BmEAC#mF#m In the land of youth and freedom beyond the oceans green DEA Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag full of stars
