God Bless America Again chords - Tex Ritter





Lois A. Hall requested this song.  This is the way my wife and I do it. 
If anyone writes new words for it in relation to the WTC attack, please
share them with me.  As usual, I'm using the Nashville Numbering System
so that it will apply to any key and everyone.  Explanations of the NNS
can be found at Cowpie/Resources/Lessons/NashvilleNumberSystem#1, 2, & 3.
 Mine is #3, but all are good.  If you need further help or info, email
me.

[Papa T complained about the ALL CAPITOLs that I use in my song
submissions.  Let me explain - I'm 62 years old and my old eyes read the
larger capitols better when I have to read a song when I sing it.  So I
store them that way.  If it is a problem to more than just a few, or if
Greg prefers me to use small letters, I'll be happy to comply.]

GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN

(Chorus-Sing)
GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN
YOU SEE ALL THE TROUBLE THAT SHEâS IN
WASH HER PRETTY FACE, DRY HER EYES AND THEN
GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN

[We play the melody of the chorus behind these recitations.]

(Verse 1-Recite)
GOD, I SURE DO WISH YOUâD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN
YOU KNOW, THE WAY YOU DID BACK WHEN IT ALL BEGAN
YOU BLESSED HER THEN, LORD, BUT SOMEHOW WE JUST TOOK IT FOR GRANTED
AND WE NEVER DID ASK AGAIN
SO, JUST HOLD HER HAND, GOD, THATâS ALL
AND IF SHE SHOULD STUMBLE, PLEASE DONâT LET HER FALL

(Verse 2-Recite)
YOU KNOW I NEVER DID UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING I READ AND HEAR ABOUT WHATâS
WRONG WITH AMERICA
BUT WHEN YOU DONâT HAVE A LOT OF BOOK LEARNING
I GUESS THEREâS LOTS OF THINGS YOU DONâT UNDERSTAND
BUT LET ME SAY THIS, GOD ö SHEâS LIKE A MOTHER TO ME
AND ALL I AM OR EVER HOPE TO BE, I OWE TO YOU AND TO HER·..

[I wrote the following verse during a former administration - use it with
my blessing - Tom Rivers]

(Verse 3-Recite)
SOME OF OUR PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR ROLE IN AMERICAâS GREATNESS, LORD
AND HONESTY AND CHARACTER DONâT SEEM TO COUNT MUCH WITH OUR LEADERS
ANYMORE
LORD, WHEN YOU WERE INVOLVED, AMERICA WAS A BEACON TO THE WORLD, 
AND WITH YOUR HELP, SHE CAN BE AGAIN.  
SO PLEASE GOD····BLESS AMERICA··..AGAIN.

(Tag-Sing)
WASH HER PRETTY FACE, DRY HER EYES AND THEN
GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN.
