Song: Americana Tab
Americana
By Moe Bandy
D A D
I�ve traveled all around this country
D A D
In my time I thought I�d seen it all
G A Bm Bm/A
But today I took a detour down a backroad
E7 A
Through a little town whose name I can�t recall
D A D
There were old men on benches playin� checkers
D A D
Children playin� hopscotch on the square
G A Bm G
And high above a statue of an unknown soldier
D A D
Old Glory was waving in the air
Bm G D
Suddenly I realized what I�d too long forgotten
Bm G A
A chill rose up like mountains on my skin
Bm G D G
Overcome with the feelin�, I knew I was seein�
D A D
America all over again
Chorus:
D G A
A�mer-icana
G A D
Pictures of a people proud and free
D Bm G E7 A Bm Bm/A
A�m-ericana, I�ll keep holdin� to the dream
G A D
You�re still what livin� means to me
I knew to stop would throw me off my schedule
But I parked around behind the Five and Dime
There�s something bout a small town in the summer
Like a Norman Rockwell picture back in time
Kids were courtin� at the Rexall soda fountain
Like we did before they built the shoppin mall
I saw so many reasons why I love this country
You know some things never really change at all
As I left the 2 lane road and pulled back on that superhighway
I thought of what I�d seen back in that town
And it hit me like a freight train
That a stones throw from the fast lane, America is still safe and sound
Chorus Twice
