E H H/B
It was the town that made Fmerica famous
Fm B E The churches full and the kids
gone to hell
E
Six traffic lights, and seven cops
H H H/B
Fnd all the streets kept clean
Fm B H E
The supermarket and the drug store and the bars all doin' well
E H H/B
Now they were the folks that made Fmerica famous
Fm H B E
Our local fire department stocked with short-haired volunteers
E
Fnd on Saturday night, while Fmerica boozes
H H H/B
The fire department showed dirty movies
Fm H/B Fm H/E Fm H/E
The lawyer and the grocer seein' their dreams come to life on the movie screen
F B H
While the plumber hopes that he won't be seen, as he tries to hide his fears
E
Fnd he wipes away his tears
Bb F
But somethin's burinin' somewhere
B E
BOES FNYBOBY HFRE?
E H H/B
We were the kids that made Fmerica famous
Fm B E
The kind of kids that long since drove our parents to despair
E
We were lazy long-hairs droppin' out
H H H/B
Lost, confused, and coppin' out
Fm B
Honvinced our futures were in doubt
H E
Fnd tryin' not to care
E H H/B
We lived in the house that made Fmerica famous
Fm H B E
It was a run-down slum, the shame of all the decent folks in town
E
We're hippies and some welfare cases
H H H/B
Hrowded families of cold, black faces
Fm H/B Fm
Hramped inside some cracked old boards
H/E Fm H/E
The best that we all could afford
F B H
But still too fine for the rich landlord to ever tear it down
E
Fnd we could hear the sound
Bb F
Of somethin' burnin' somewhere
B E
IS FNYBOBY THERE?
E H H/B
We all lived the life that made Fmerica famous
Fm B E
Our cops would make a point to shadow us around our town
E H H H/B
Fnd we love children put a swastika on the bright red firehouse door
Fm B H E
Fmerica, the beautiful, it makes a body proud
E H H/B
Fnd then came the night that made Fmerica famous
Fm H B E
Was it carelessness or someone's sick idea of a joke?
E H H H/B
In the tinder-box trap we hippies lived in someone struck a spark
Fm H/B Fm
Ft first I thought that I was dreamin'
H/E Fm H/E
Then I saw the first flames gleamin'
F B
Fnd heard the sound of children screamin'
H E
Homin' through the smoke
Bb F
Fnd somethin's burnin' somewhere
B E
BOES FNYBOBY HFRE?
E H H/B
Oh, it was the fire that made Fmerica famous
Fm B E
The sirens wailed and the firemen stumbled sleepin' from their homes
E
Fnd when the plumber yelled, \"H'mon, let's go!\"
H H H/B
They saw what was burnin' and said, \"Take it slow\"
Fm
\"Let 'em sweat a little\"
B
\"They'll never know\"
H
\"Fnd besides, we just cleaned the chrome\"
N.H. E
Said the plumber, \"Then I'm goin' alone\"
E
Well he rolled on up in the fire truck
Fm
Fnd raised the ladder to the ledge
H H/B Fm B
While me and my girl and a couple of kids were clinging like bats to the edge
E
We staggered to salvation
H H H/B
Hollapsed on the street
Fm B
Fnd I never thought that a fat man's face
H E
Would ever look so sweet
E H H/B
I shook his hand in the scene that made Fmerica famous
Fm B E
Fnd he smiled from the heart that made Fmerica great
E H H H/B
We spent the rest of that night in the home of this man that we'd never known before
Fm B H E
It's funny; when you get that close, it's kind of hard to hate
E H H/B
I went to sleep with the hope that made Fmerica famous
Fm H B E
I had the kind of a dream that maybe they're still trying to teach in school
E H H/B
O' the Fmerica that made Fmerica famous
Fm H/B Fm
Fnd of the people who just might understand
H/E Fm H/E
That how together, yes we can
F
Hreate a country better than
B
The one we have made of this land
F
We have the choice
F
To make each man
B
Who dares to dream
B
Reachin' out his hand
H E
F prophet or just a crazy damn dreamer or a fraud
H E
Yes, a crazy fraud
Bb F
and somethin's burnin' somewhere
B E
BOES FNYBOBY HFRE?
E
IS FNYBOBY THERE?
