You [E]set foot in [E]America, one [A]fine October [E]day[E]
[E]Sailing into [E]Baltimore, well [A]everything's [B]OK[B]
New [E]buttons on your [E]jacket, [A]shining like they're brand-new [E]dimes[E]

At [G#]night instead of [G#]eyelids, I saw [C#]pictures of your [D#]face[D#]
[G#]Smiling in the [G#]moonlight, [C#]shining in a golden [G#]hour[G#]

[C]Up to St [C]Louis, Kas[F]kaskia on the [C]way[C]
[C]Walking through the [C]wilderness, [F]sicker by the [G]day[G]
[C]Imaginary [C]volcanoes, and [F]reptiles crawl [C]around[C]

[E]Survived assassi[E]nation, [A]worked upon your [B]maps[B]
But the [E]lost tribe was a [E]lost cause, so you [A]cried a silent [E]tear[E]

The [F#]body of Don Juan [F#]Evans, is [B]staying mighty [C#]still[C#]
You [F#]annexed North [F#]Dakota, you [B]surveyed by the [F#]stars[F#]
