An American Hymn

(A)I have seen a (F#m)summer day that (D)slowly (A)opens like a (Bm7)rose,

(A)along a quiet (F#m)road that wanders (A)by and (D)I have (A)smiled and wondered (Bm7)where it (E7)goes.

(A)I have stumbled (F#m)through the night (D)alone as (A)any man can (Bm7)be,

then (A)found a silent (F#m)canyon full of (A)stars and (D)in my (A)heart I heard them (Bm7)telling (E7)goes.

(E7sus4)me I was (A)home.

(C)The gentle (G)winds,

(Bb)the rain that (F)fall,

(C)the tallest (G)trees, I'm (D)part of it (E)all.

I've (A)(E)seen the silver (F#m)mountain

and (D)golden (A)prairies on my (Bm7)way.

Now (A)(E)ev'rywhere I (F#m)go across the (A)land,

I (D)stand so (A)proudly in the (Bm7)sun and (E7sus4)say,

"I am (A)home."

(C)The gentle (G)winds,

(Bb)the rain that (F)fall,

(C)the tallest (G)trees, I'm (D)part of it (E)all.

I've (A)(E)dreamed of Eden (F#m)all my

I (D)find it (A)more and more each (Bm7)day.

Now (A)(E)ev'rywhere I (F#m)go across the (A)land,

I (D)stand so (A)proudly in the (Bm7)sun and (E7sus4)say,

"I am (A)home."

(C)(F)home."
