Are You Still My America
Em D A Em::::
Verse 1
You have left me broken hearted from the crazy things you do
I would have departed but I’m committed to loving you
I don’t know why this started but this all has  to end
If you keep this up babe, you won’t even have one friend

C6 A6::::::
Chorus 1
Are you still my America?  
Are you still my Tis of Thee?
You’re the land of the Pilgrims pride
From every mountain side
We pray for you
I pray for you

Em D A Em::::
Verse 2
Went to an Afghan party and we invited all our friends
But you ran out crying leaving We (the People) to make amends
Then I found you with your gates (skirt) up letting any migrant in
What are you doing, girl, having pride is not a sin

C6 A6::::::
Chorus 2
Are you still my America?  
Are you still my Tis of Thee?
You’re the land where my fathers died
From every mountain side
We pray for you
I pray for you

BREAK

Em A6 A::::

C6 A6::::::
Chorus 3
Are you still my America?  
Are you still my Tis of Thee?
You’re the land of the Pilgrims pride
Have we lost God as our guide?
We pray for you
I pray for you

Em D A Em::::
Verse 3 
I give you what you ask for but inflation makes me poor
I work hard for a living but it’s a free ride for more and more
I don’t like complaining but there’s a limit to what we have
Because I love you baby, I will always take the jab

C6 A6::::::
Chorus 4 
Are you still my America?  
Are you Still my Tis of Thee?
You have my blood and tears
We need leaders who will revere
Our past 200 years
We pray for you
I pray for you
We cry for you
I cry for you

All My Songs Were Love Songs
Words and Music by Frederic Grant

All my songs were love songs
Written just for you
But every note I played seemed wrong
I am a man you never knew

Each day I tried my best
To show you that I cared
But every day was a test
And complements were rare

For you, it was all about money
For you, it was all about things
For me, it was all about loving
For me, it was what love could bring

I know my heart was broken
Perhaps that why I drink
It was the angry words spoken
That we put into our bank

Was I a fool for staying
Knowing you didn’t care
Each day my heart was shrinking
My soul had been laid bare
For you, it was all about money
For you, it was all about things
For me, it was all about loving
For me, it was what love should bring

BREAK

There were some good times
When I was not with you
But then I found out
You were not always true

You broke my heart in every way
I made a choice I could not stay

All my songs were love songs
Written just for you
But every note I played seemed wrong
I was a man you never knew
But every note I played seemed wrong
I was a man you never knew
A man you never knew
A man you never knew
Someone you never knew

Asus9                       A(add9)
The sun beats down the ground is dry
Rivers fading under relentless skys
Villagers watch as their farm crops die
Hearts and minds cry full of pain

C              D           E
No farms, no food, no future
No farms, no food, no pay
No farms, no food, no future
Children will go hungry today
Asus9                       A(add9)
Mothers weep tears of dust
Holding on to faith in God they trust
For children laughter is just a dream
In the shadow of hunger no hope is seen

C              D           E
No farms, no food, no future
No farms, no food, no pay
No farms, no food, no future
Children will go hungry today
Asus9             A(add9) (Tempo Change)
Let the world hear their silent pleas
Calls for help from across the seas
Working together we can change their fate
Before it’s too late…
Before it’s too late…
	C              D           E
No farms, no food, no future
No farms, no food, no pay
No farms, no food, no future
Children will go hungry today
Additional Verses
Asus9                       A(add9)
Mothers gaze with weary eyes
Once lush lands now barren and bare
Silent prayers hangs in the air
Asus9                       A(add9)
Let’s stand together across the globe,
To gather food and share the load
For every mother lets end the strife 
Let’s end the wars and bring back life
For every mother lets end the strife 
Let’s end the wars and bring back life

E                    Gmaj7
Woke up this mornin  
Sky was cloudy and gray 
I’ve got the weight of the world 
But I just think about today

C                   D(add11)
Bills keep on comin  
And the gigs all be bad 
But I keep on smilin  
Playin never makes me sad 

C                   D(add11)
Life is a journey 
Gotta live it your way 
So I play my guitar 
E                   Gmaj7
And think about today
Think about today

Gsus                     A7sus
Every moment is a gift

Gotta hold on tight to the light 
Of each day

From the one above

E                   Gmaj7
Think about today
Play the blues away 
Think about today
Play the blues away
Thank you for today

Extra Verses
Saw an old friend 
Down on the street 
We shared a laugh 
And then we tapped our feet 
Played songs about old times 
And where we went astray 
But we both agreed 
To think about today 
Play the blues away

Had a cup of coffee 
At the corner cafe 
Watched the world go by 
In its own way 
Folks rushin here and there 
In the hustle and the fray 
But I just sat there playin
Thinkin about today 
Play the blues away

So as the night falls 
And the stars start to play 
I lay down my worries 
And dream them all away 
Cause tomorrow is a mystery 
And the past never stays
I just keep on playin  
Think about today
Play the blues away

Looking (UK Radio Mix) 070820

Its two minutes to midnight 
On this Christmas eve
All children should be sleeping
With hopes of gifts to receive

Looking down at this planet 
Causes one to think
Why can’t we solve our problems
The world has no more room to shrink

Its two minutes to midnight
Something is flying in the sky
Our children hope it is Santa
But it could be a missile’s cry

So many hungry
So many poor
So many faithful 
Killed in the all the wars

Iran wants a nuclear Christmas
Britain wants to leave
Our politicians have left us
We need something to believe

Its two minutes to midnight
Something is flying in the sky
Our children hope it is Santa
But it could be a missle’s (war) cry

14 Two Minutes To Midnight (UK Radio MIx) 083020

We were               soldiers once 
We served with   valor
But in a                war that isn’t     won       
It’s hard to            imagine 
Seeing so many    horrors—
When at home      fake new never reports even one
           
We never             thought about 
coming home      different
Our service had   rules like           American life          
But the things we saw 
they did change us
Unexpected         nightmares from this fight
 
When he            first got home 
she ran to meet   him                               
The first few      weeks he seemed just       fine    
But after a          while 
the nights grew longer
He woke up       soaked with fight or         flight


All were concerned and tried to help him                                 
But each            day he relived horrible       sights 
The VA tried 
but could do nothing
No reason for guilt but no way to set things right

   Everyday  22 (vetrans) lose their way
   Everyday 22 (vetrans) lose their way                        
I said everyday 22 more (veterans) end their days

12 Everyday 22 More (UK Radio Mix) 082820

In the morning when I              wake up
I have your picture close          by
It helps me                                remember 
The times that we laughed and cried
Every day is the  same 
                             
I walk to your grave and kneel
Yesterday’s flowers are still here
I can still here you say

CHORUS 1

There are times I think I see    you
There are times when I’m so   alone
But I always                             remember 
Our last kiss at                         home

CHORUS 2

CHORUS 1

When its late in the                   evening
And there is a moon in the        sky
I can feel you                            watching
For all the days that I                cried

I’ll be here for you
