Song for America piano leadsheet with chords

Virgin land of forest green, dark and stormy plains;

here all life abounds.

Sunlit valleys, mountain fields, unseen in the rain;

here all life abounds.

No man rules this land;

no human hand has sailed this paradise.

Waiting patiently so much to see,

so rich in earth's delights.

Painted desert, sequined sky, stars that fill the night;

here all life abounds.

Rivers flowing to the sea, sunshine pure and bright;

here all life abounds.

So, we rule this land, and here we stand upon our paradise,

dreaming of a place;

our weary race is ready earth's delights.

earths's delights.

So, the lady finds you wait tiing

for the sails to reach the shore.

Land of beauty and abundance,

innocent you opened wide your door.

Wand'rers found the waiting treasure, full of gifts beyond their measure,

milk and honey for our pleasure.

A the sea there came a mul titude,

sailing ships upon the wave,

filled with visions of utopi

innocent the freedom that they crave.

Ravage, plunder, see, no wonder;

rape and kill and tear asunder;

chop the forest, plow it under.
