U2 - American Soul

      [Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
Em
Blessed are the bullies
For one day they will have to stand up to themselves
Em
Blessed are the liars
For the truth can be awkward

Em A

[Verse 1: Bono]
Em
It's not a place
                   A
This country is to me a sound
Em
Of drum and bass
               A              Em
You close your eyes to look around

[Bridge 1: Bono]
Em
Look around, look around
Em     A             Em
Look around, it's a sound
        Em
Look around, look around
         A
It's a sound

[Verse 2: Bono]
Em
It's not a place
            A
This country is to me a thought
             G      D
That offers grace
           A              Em
For every welcome that is sought

[Chorus: Bono]
Em       Bm
You are rock and roll
Em            A
You and I are rock and roll
Em
You are rock and roll
Em
Came here looking for American soul

[Verse 3: Bono]
Em
It's not a place
Em          A
This is a dream the whole world owns
Em
The pilgrim's face
Em           A                 Em
It had your heart to call her home

[Refrain]
Em        G
Dream on
 G               A
dreams get me sleepin'

Bm D

[Chorus: Bono]
Em       Bm
You are rock and roll
Em            A
You and I are rock and roll
Em
You are rock and roll
Em
Came here looking for American soul

Em Bm
Em

[Bridge 2: Bono]
    Em
Put your hands in the air
     G      Em
Hold on the sky
Em                     D              Em
Could be too late, but we still gotta try
Em                             G     Em
There's a moment in our life where a soul can die
         Em                            Am
And the person in a country when you believe the lie
Em                    Am
The lie (the lie, the lie)
          Em                        G
There's a promise in the heart of every good dream
      Em                      D
It's a call to action, not to fantasy
    Em         G
The end of a dream, the start of what's real
Em               Em
Let it be unity, let it be community
    G
For refugees like you and me
    Am
A country to receive us
Em
Will you be our sanctuary
Em             Bm
Refu-Jesus

[Chorus: Bono]
Em       Bm
You are rock and roll
Em            A
You and I are rock and roll
Em
You are rock and roll
Em                              C    Em
Came here looking for American soul
Em       Bm
You are rock and roll
Em            A
You and I are rock and roll
Em
You are rock and roll
Em
Came here looking for American soul
