E     A      B (2X)

Verse 1
E                 A           B     A E   
Sun comin' up over New York City.
E               A              B
School bus driver in a traffic jam.
A              B                         E
Staring at the faces in her rear view mirror,
A                                      B
Looking at the promise of the promise land.

Verse 2
E           A                B     A E
One kid dreams of fame and fortune.
E    A                  B
One kid helps pay the rent.
A         B               E        B  A
One could end up going to prison
A                      B
One just might be president

Chorus
E           A       B
Only in America!
B                            E
Dreamin' in red, white, and blue!
E            A  
Only in America!
B             
Where we dream as big as we want to

Chorus Bridge
C#m    A        C#m
We all get a chance,
C#m       A          E
Everybody gets to dance,
A            
Only in America!

Verse 3
Sun goin' down on an L.A freeway
Newly-weds in back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is everything!




Verse 4 (Keys, quiet drums, acoustic guitar, quiet "dreamy" guitar) Enter

She came out here to be an actress
He was a singer in a band.
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been
