(Capo on 2)
Intro.: |(D) |(D) |(Bm) |(Bm)
It's (D)whispered from a tractor on a flat Midwestern plain
The (Bm)fields are dry and dusty, there is no sign of rain
It floats (G)out a kitchen window, somewhere in the south
If the (A)river gets much higher, they'll float away no doubt
(Pre-Chorus)
(Em) You can almost (D/F#)feel it in the air (G)
An American (D)prayer
(Chorus)
They're gonna be al-(G)right, they're gonna carry (Bm)on
Help from a-(D)bove will come back (A) strong
Got faith (G)in us, got faith (Bm)in Him
The (A)clouds will part and the sun will shine again, a-(D)men
It (D)echoes through the factories up in Michigan
It (Bm)bounces off the levees, and rides out on the wind
Clear (G)out to California, and back on up to Maine
Don't (A)matter if you're rich or poor, a sinner or a saint
(Pre-Chorus)
Every (Em)night, every-(D/F#)body, every-(G)where
Is praying their American (D)prayer
(Chorus)
They're gonna be al-(G)right, they're gonna carry (Bm)on
Help from a-(D)bove will come back (A) strong
Got faith (G)in us, got faith (Bm)in Him
The (A)clouds will part and the sun will shine again, a-(D)men
Solo: / / / |(D) |(Bm) |(Bm) |(G) |(A)
(Chorus)
They're gonna be al-(G)right, they're gonna car-(Bm)ry on
Help from a-(D)bove will come back (A) strong
Got faith (G) in us, got faith (Bm) in Him
The (A)clouds will part and the sun will shine again, amen
