American Child chords by John Denver

Chords with lyrics

Goin up to A augmentedA [G+G] las [D MajorD] ka [A augmentedA]
Up to the [G+G] land of the [D MajorD] Midnight [A augmentedA] Sun
Where the [G+G] whale and the polar bear run oer the [FF] icy blue [C majorC]
sea
[A augmentedA] Goin up to A augmentedA [G+G] las [D MajorD] ka [A augmentedA]
Up to the [G+G] north and the [D MajorD] pioneer [A augmentedA] life
Where [G+G] courage and strength still survive
And a [FF] man can be [C majorC] free  [D MajorD]

[G+G] American Child does the call of the wild
Ever [FF] sing thru the mist of your [C majorC] dreams
Does it [G+G] fly with the wind when you [Gmaj7Gmaj7] waken [G7G7] again
When itâs [C majorC] gone do you know what it [D MajorD] means

Can you [G+G] picture the time when a man had to find
His own [FF] way through an unbroken [C majorC] land
Be [G+G] fore the machine changed the [Gmaj7Gmaj7] blue and the [G7G7] green
To [C majorC] something you canât under [D MajorD] stand

[G+G] American Child theres a burning inside you
That [FF] calls you away through the [C majorC] cold
To [G+G] come back again to [Gmaj7Gmaj7] all that youâve [G7G7] been
Canât you [C majorC] see that itâs time to come [D MajorD] home

To the [G+G] flowers and trees and the rivers and the seas
And the [FF] earth whoâs the mother of [C majorC] all
A augmentedA [G+G] promise once made will it [Gmaj7Gmaj7] shine will it [G7G7] fade
Will we [C majorC] rise with the vision or [A augmentedA] fall

Goin up to A augmentedA [G+G] las [D MajorD] ka [A augmentedA]
Up to the [G+G] land of the [D MajorD] Midnight [A augmentedA] Sun
Where the [G+G] whale and the polar bear run oer the [FF] icy blue [C majorC]
sea
 [A augmentedA] Goin up to A augmentedA [G+G] las [D MajorD] ka [A augmentedA]
Up to the [G+G] north and the [D MajorD] pioneer [A augmentedA] life
Where [G+G] courage and strenght still survive
And a [FF] man can be [C majorC] free
Men can be [D MajorD] free

Goin up to A augmentedA [G+G] las [D MajorD] ka
Goin up to A augmentedA [G+G] las [D MajorD] ka
