[Intro]
Am Em F
Am Em G
C Am
Sixty six days on the Mayflower long before the beacon hand
Dm F G
Just lookin' for someplace where they could start over again
C Am
And then slowly moving westward planting flags on stolen land
Dm F G
Sometimes I sit and wonder what the dream looked like back then
C Am
Oh times they keep on changin' different roads and different oceans
Dm F G
She tells me for how far we've come life still seems so damn hard
C Am F G
Feeln' broke down on the golden road to unlimited devotion
Dm F. C
Watching satellites and airplane lights weave through these western stars
[Chorus]
Am Em F C
Seems we hit the jackpot baby you and me
Dm Em F G C
We were born in North America in the twentieth century
Am Em F
Am Em G x2
C Am
Send your tired your huddled masses send the homeless and the poor
Dm F G
With open arms she offers all this new world can afford
C Am
Now a few hundred years later we still search for something more
Dm F G
As we watch the fading lamplight that once lit the golden door
C Am
And as I walk these city streets I feel a stranger in my town
Dm F G
I don't mind so much the people as the landmarks coming down
C Am F C
Yet still we sleep in comfort with our shelter bread and wine
Dm F C
Knowing that we're better off than any other place or time
[Chorus]
Am Em F C
Seems we hit the jackpot baby you and me
Dm Em F G C
We were born in North America in the twentieth century
[Solo]
Am Em F
