God bless America again (1976)    (video)

   D                 G         D                                G                       A

God bless America again, you see all the trouble that she's in,

  G                               D

wash her pretty face, dry her eyes and then,

  G                  A          D

God bless America again.  

1. (spoken by Conway Twitty, a full CHORUS as instrumental in the background)

God, I sure do wish you’d bless America again,

you know, like you did way back when it all began.

You blessed her then, but we just sorta kinda took it for granted,

and never did ask again, so just hold her hand God, that's all,

and if she should stumble, please don't let her fall.

(original moves up half a note to capo 2nd here)

+ CHORUS

2. (spoken by Conway Twitty, while Loretta sings a full CHORUS

in the background)

You know, I don't understand everything I read

and hear about what's wrong with America,

but when you don't have a lot of book learnin’

I guess there's a lot things you don't understand.

 But let me say this, God, she's like a Mother to me,

 and all I am or ever hope to be I owe to You and her.

   G                               D

Wash her pretty face, dry her eyes and then,

  G                  A          D

God bless America again.
