[Verse 1]
Am G
We said we'd build a bridge for man in the land our fathers earned.
F E
And the wars we faught were smaller then but the bridges still got burned.
F G
And the poor mans dreams got broken by a wheel he never turned
E Am G F E
We just.. took him along for the ride.
[Verse 2]
Am G
We said we'd save the best we found for the yearning in our minds.
F E
But we took what we called hallowed ground and we left the best behind
F G
for the gold of California in another place to find
E Am
And we.. all went along for the ride.
[Chorus]
C G
Well America I love you and I'm glad you caught the train
F E
but you left a lot of homeless people waiting in the rain
F C
Hear the voices of the children when they cry
E Am G F E
Take me along for the ride
[Verse 3]
Am G
We said that we'd remember that the old folks still belong
F E
and the twisted, and the broken, help to sing the battle song
F G
and the place that we discovered was a dream they brought along
E Am G F E
and we.. took them along for the ride.
[verse 4]
Am G
We said we'd bould a better place, to live untile we die.
F E
with a shield against disaster, that would leave a man his pride
F G
but because we fear our neighbors we have lost it all and lied
E Am
and we, all go along for the ride.
[Chorus]
C G
Well America I love you and I'm glad you caught the train
F E
but you left a lot of homeless people waiting in the rain
F C
Hear the voices of the children when they cry
E Am
Take me along for the ride
