You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows
(Edge plays arpeggiated chords)

Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout I'll only hear you

The hands that built America
intro: F#m - E - D
F#m E D (+tabbed part)
Oh my love, it's a long way we've come
From the freckled hills, to the steel and glass canyons
Am G D (+ tabbed part)
From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky
From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye
F#m E D (+ tabbed part)
These are the hands that built America
Oh, oh oh, America
F#m E D (+ tabbed part)
Last saw your face in a watercolour sky
As sea birds argue, a long goodbye
Am G D
I took your kiss, on the spray of the new land star
You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard
F#m E D
And these are the hands, that built America
Ah, ah ah, America
Am G D
Of all of the promises, is this one we could keep
Of all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach
Halle, ole
(this part of tenor voice, i don't have how is it)
F#m E D
It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline
Innocence, dragged across a yellow line

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah America
Oh-la-la-ah-ah America
