Tom: Bm
B E
We came like babies
E A
From our home across the sea to see America
D A
And the people opened up their arms
E B
To welcome us... to America
E
We came like children
E A
From a far and distant land to see America
D A
And the golden sun of freedom
E B
Filtered down to us, in America
C#m A
And the people stood and stared
C#m D A E
Loved us more than we had dared to, in America
[Chorus]
