G                       D
Well I can stand beside ideals I think are right

G                          D
And I can stand beside the idea to stand and fight

Em                     D
I do believe there's a dream for everyone

C       D7  G
This is our country



G                            D
There's room enough here for science to live

            G                    D
And there's room enough here for religion to forgive

Em                            D
And try to understand all the people of this land

C       D7  G
This is our country


Chorus:

         C
From the east coast 

       G
To the west coast

         Em                 D
Down the dixie highway back home

C       D7  G
This is our country



G                       D
That poverty could just another ugly thing

    G                     D
And bigotry would be seen only as obscene

        Em                            D
And the ones that understand help the poor and common man

C       D7  G
This is our country


Chorus:


G                            D
The dream is still alive someday it will come true

         G                     D
And this country it belongs to folks like me and you

   Em                       D
So let the voice of freedom sing out through this land

C       D7  G
This is our country
