******************** AMERICA,YOU ARE MY WOMAN ******************

written and performed by Billy Joe Shaver.



Verse 1:
      D                          G
	By your way,i've often traveled
      A                      D
	Magic mother of the pearl
                                  G
	Watched your mysteries unravel
      A                          D    
	While each foamy wave uncurled
                                       G
	Neath' my soles the sands of freedom
      A                           D
	Fertile valleys,moutains high
                                  G  
	Blistered by the blazing sunshine
      A                            D 
	Mellowed by the moonlight night

	
Chorus:
      D                        G  
	Mighty measure of the Maker
      A                       D
	With your open arms unfurled
                            G 
	America,you are my woman
      A                     D  
	America,you are my world


Verse 2:
      D                               G  
	Many worlds and dreams i've traveled
      A                             D
	Sliding softly through the night
                                       G
	Scanned through silicones and cycles
      A                            D
	Mirrored low your emerald life
                                 G
	When my days on earth return to
      A                            D
	Dust from whence my body weighs
                                   G
	Will my soul could always carry
      A                                     D
	Where the Saint's first flight was made


Chorus.
