{c: Verse 1}
O [C]beautiful for [G]spacious skies,
for [G7]amber waves of [C]grain
For purple mountain [G]majesties,
a[D]bove the [D7]fruited [G]plain[G7]!
A[C]merica! A[G]merica!
God [G7]shed his grace on [C]thee
And [F]crown thy good with [C]brotherhood,
from [F]sea to [G7]shining [C]sea!

{c: Verse 2}
O [C]beautiful for [G]pilgrim feet,
whose [G7]stern impassioned [C]stress
A thoroughfare of [G]freedom beat,
a[D]cross the [D7]wilder[G]ness[G7]!
A[C]merica! A[G]merica!
God [G7]mend thine every [C]flaw
Con[F]firm thy soul in [C]self-control,
Thy [F]liber[G7]ty in [C]law!

{c: Verse 3}
O [C]beautiful for [G]heroes proved,
in [G7]liberating [C]strife.
Who more than self their [G]country loved,
and [D]mercy [D7]more than [G]life[G7]!
A[C]merica! A[G]merica!
May [G7]God thy gold re[C]fine
Till [F]all success be [C]nobleness,
and [F]every [G7]gain di[C]vine!

{c: Verse 4}
O [C]beautiful for [G]patriot dream,
that [G7]sees beyond the [C]years
Thine alabaster [G]cities gleam,
un[D]dimmed by [D7]human [G]tears[G7]!
A[C]merica! A[G]merica!
God [G7]shed his grace on [C]thee
And [F]crown thy good with [C]brotherhood,
from [F]sea to [G7]shining [C]sea!

{c: Verse 5}
O [C]beautiful for [G]halcyon skies,
For [G7]amber waves of [C]grain,
For purple mountain [G]majesties
A[D]bove the e[D7]nameled [G]plain[G7]!
A[C]merica! A[G]merica!
God [G7]shed his grace on [C]thee
Till [F]souls wax fair as [C]earth and air
And [F]music-[G7]hearted [C]sea!

{c: Verse 6}
O [C]beautiful for [G]pilgrims feet,
Whose [G7]stern impassioned [C]stress
A thoroughfare for [G]freedom beat
A[D]cross the [D7]wilder[G]ness![G7]
A[C]merica! A[G]merica!
God [G7]shed his grace on [C]thee
Till [F]paths be wrought through [C]wilds of thought
By [F]pilgrim [G7]foot and [C]knee!

{c: Verse 7}
O [C]beautiful for [G]glory-tale
Of [G7]liberating [C]strife
When once and twice, for [G]man's avail
Men [D]lavished [D7]precious [G]life![G7]
A[C]merica! A[G]merica!
God [G7]shed his grace on [C]thee
Till [F]selfish gain no [C]longer stain
The [F]banner [G7]of the [C]free!

{c: Verse 8}
O [C]beautiful for [G]patriot dream
That [G7]sees beyond the [C]years
Thine alabaster [G]cities gleam
Un[D]dimmed by [D7]human [G]tears[G7]!
A[C]merica! A[G]merica!
God [G7]shed his grace on [C]thee
Till [F]nobler men keep [C]once again
Thy [F]whiter [G7]jubi[C]lee!
