Capo 3^rd fret

 

(F) (Fj7) (G) (Am)  (F) (Fj7) (G) (F)

(C) Here I am in the (F)heart of the land,

Where they (C)sell it on the run and they (F)steal it if they can,

(C)Living in the (G)heart of the (F)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land.

 

Oh, it's (C)heartbreak alley on the (F)coast highway,

They (C)never made girls like (F)that in my day,

(C)Living in the (G)heart of the (F)dream,

(C)Living in the (G)heart of the (F)dream,

(C)Living in the (G)heart of the  (F)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land.

 

Oh, I'm (F)living in the (Fj7)heart, (F)living in the (Fj7)heart,

(F)Living in the heart of the (Fj7)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land,

(F)Living in the heart of the (Fj7)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land.

 

Oh, it's (C)slow take, soul shake, (F)Perrier and earthquakes,

(C)Everybody's waiting for the (F)day they get their big break,

(C)Living in the (G)heart of the  (F)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land.

 

(C) And here I am with my (F)ass in the sand,

(C)Getting my goodies with a (F)rock and roll band,

(C)Living in the(G)heart of the  (F)dream,

(C)Living in the (G)heart of the  (F)dream,

(C)Living in the (G)heart of the  (F)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land.

 

And I'm (F)living in the (Fj7)heart, (F)living in the (Fj7)heart,

(F)Living in the heart of the (Fj7)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land,

(F)Living in the heart of the (Fj7)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land.

(C)  (F)  (C)  (F)  (C) (G) (F)  (G) (Am)

 

(C)Hell, I got it all and I (F)still want more,

I'm (C)Looking for the west with my (F)feet on the shore,

(C)Living in the (G)heart of the (F)dream,

I'm (C)living in the (G)heart of the (F)dream,

Yeah, I'm (C)living in the (G)heart of the (F)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land.

 

And I'm (F)living in the (Fj7)heart, (F)living in the (Fj7)heart,

(F)Living in the heart of the (Fj7)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land,

(F)Living in the heart of the (Fj7)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land,

(F)Living in the heart of the (Fj7)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land,

(F)Living in the heart of the (Fj7)dream in the (G)Promised (Am)Land…
