James Brown - Living in America

[intro]
D9

[Verse 1]
D9
Super highways, coast to coast, easy to get anywhere
D9
On the transcontinental overload, just slide behind the wheel
D9
How does it feel

[Bridge]
            G7
When theres no destination-that's too far
                                     A7
And somewhere on the way, you might find out who you are

[Chorus]
F               G7         D9
Livin' in America-eye to eye, station to station
F               G7         D9
Livin' in America-hand to hand,across the nation
F             C  Bb                       D9
Livin in America-got to have a celebration ,Rock my soul

[Verse 2]
D9
All night diners, keep you 'wake, on black coffee, and a hard roll

[Bridge 2]
          G7
You might have to walk the fine line,
 G7
you might take the hard line
                       A7
But everybody's workin' overtime

[Chorus]
F               G7        D9
Livin' in America-eye to eye, station to station
F               G7         D9
Livin' in America-hand to hand,across the nation
F           C    Bb              D9
Livin in America-got to have a celebration
