My Love Is In America

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...
