(Capo on 2)

Intro.:  |(C) |(F) | x 2

She's (C)up before the sun, on the (Cmaj7)run, another (F)dollar, another day, another cup of coffee
(C)Thank you, Lord, for giving (F)me one more
She still (C)leans on her dreams but it (Cmaj7)seems, some(F)times she's the only one who still believes 
That (Am)life is hard, so she (G)takes it on with an A-(A)merican Heart 

(Chorus)
And it (C)beats like a drum down in New Orleans, (F)sings like a Motown melody
It (C)dreams like California, (F)bigger than the Texas sky
It (C)bleeds, it (E)scars, but it (Am)shines when (G)times get (F) hard ---
And you can't break an American (C) heart (E)(F) / |(C)(E)(F)

From the (C)small town Friday night (Cmaj7)lights to the (F)Broadway neon burning up bright
We're (C)all the same and it's (F)in our veins
A (C)spirit that you can't keep (Cmaj7)down, a (F)fire inside that'll never burn out
(Am)If you are the (G)owner of an A-(F)merican heart

(Chorus)
And it (D)beats like a drum down in New Orleans, (G)sings like a Motown melody
It (D)dreams like California, (G)bigger than the Texas sky
It (D)bleeds, it (F#)scars, but it (Bm)shines when (A)times get (G) hard
And you can't break an American |(Bm) heart (C#m)(D)(F#)|(G) / / 
An American |(Bm) heart (C#m)(D)(F#)|(G)

(Chorus)
And it (D)beats like a drum down in New Orleans, (G)sings like a Motown melody
It (D)dreams like California, (G)bigger than the Texas sky
It (D)bleeds, it (F#)scars, but it (Bm)shines when (A)times get (G) hard
And you can't break, you can't (Em) break an American (D) heart (F#)(G) / |(D)(F#)(G) 
An American (D) heart, (F#)(G) / |(D)(F#)(G) an American (D) heart ---

God bless America and all the free, God bless America
