Berikut lirik dan chord lagu "For America" dari Jakcson Browne.

                Dm
As if i really didnt understand
                   Bb
That i was just another part of their plan
                   C
I went off looking for the promise
                                  Dm
Believing in the Motherland

Vers 2:

                   Dm
And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed
                Bb
And the safety of my own head
               C
I went on speaking of the future
                   Dm
While other people fought and bled

Bridge 1:

F                           Bb
The kid I was when I first left home
F                        Bb
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
F               Bb
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet
F                Bb                     C
When the truth was known

Chorus 1:

                  C
I have prayed for America
                       Am
I was made for America
                               Bb
It's in my blood and in my bones
               Bb - C
By the dawn's early light
             Bb - C
By all I know is right
             Bb - C
We're going to reap what we have sown

Dm - Bb - C - Dm x 1

Vers 4

                        Dm
As if freedom was a question of might
                 Bb
As if loyalty was black and white
                 C
You hear people say it all the time-
                                     Dm
"My country wrong or right"

Vers 5

                  Dm
I want to know what that's got to do
               Bb
With what it takes to find out what's true
              C
With everyone from the President on down
                           Dm
Trying to keep it from you
