Verse 1
back in nineteen sixty- two
We played the places that were
home to me and you
We drove to Memphis, we rocked a set
We walked the streets at night
and smoked a cigarette
Verse 2
Verse 3
Am
There was so much I didn't know
D
About the way that life could go
Verse 4
G
Down the block I saw the
people stop and stare
You did your best to make
a Yankee boy aware
I never thought about the
color of your skin
I never worried 'bout the hotel I was in
Here in America
C
Verse 5
Em
Here in America (in America)
Verse 6
Am
But the places I could stay
D
They all made you walk away

Verse 7
G
You were the man who earned
the glory and the fame
But cowards felt that they
could call you any name
You were the star, standing in the light
That won you nothing on
a city street at night
Here in America
C
Verse 8
Verse 9
Am
You were told that we were free
D
This land is made for you and me
Here in America
Verse 10
G
You stayed more steady than
a backbeat on a drum
You told me you believed a change
was gonna come
You sang for freedom, but lived life free
I saw it in your smile and in dignity
Verse 11
Verse 12
Am
A preacher's kid you'd always be
D
Singing the truth to set us free

Verse 13
G
You were a star when you
were standing on a stage
When I look back on it,
I feel a burning rage
You sang "You Send Me,"
I sang "I Wonder Why"
I still wonder,
you were way too young to die
Verse 14
Verse 15
Am
Hey, Sam, I wish that you were near
D
I wish that you were here
