G                              A
Wonder if you remember that date
               D                  Em
When JFK met his fate
  G                        A                      D
Someone in a doctors office said
              C                 G                              A
The president is gone and peace is dead

  G                             A                     D
Someone somewhere in a song I wrote
  G                  A                           D
Said thank God were free at last
G                G                Em
I had a dream of equality
C                  G                  A
Now that dream has passed

               CHORUS
G                     A                 D
Is this the song of America
  G                           A               Em
America you've only just begun
               G                              A                  D
To sing the last great American love song
             C                             G              A
Don't sing it down the barrel of a gun

G                                    A                        D
Walking through the sacred halls of learning
   G                       A                     D                 Em
The voices of Angel's like a choir in my head
G                            A                            D
People trying to stop Cambodia burning
  C                             A           D                          Em
Nine of them are injured four of them are dead

G                                    A
A friend of mine in a dream I had
  D                                      Em
Told me, give peace a chance
  G                             A               D
Imagine if theirs only sky above
           G                            A
In a world that's gone insane
              D                          Em
With the suffering and pain
C                      G                      A
He said that all you need is love

CH

(a little slower)
G                                          Bm
The western world looks up to you
             C            Em
America to pull us through
  Bm                                   C                      G
You're always there to lend a helping hand
          F                           C               G
But America please try to understand
  F                             G      C                                         Am
We want to be a part of that great dream your selling
F                            G               C                                         Em
It's just that we can't be sure who's truth it is you're telling
