(Capo on F# use chord shapes below) CHORUS Em G D A This is a song about Miss Liberty Don’t look away She once stood proud as the gate to our land Miss Liberty will lie stripped She was strong but now is in misery in New York’s bay She has grown tired and poor because few take a Don’t look away stand Freedom’s child will lie in decay There once was a time when we all pledged allegiance There once was a time when we all said our prayers There once was a time when we could reach agreements There once was a culture to leave to our heirs

CHORUS

Where should we put a stripped Miss Liberty Is she a girl you would want your children to see There will be no gate to the land of no liberty All can come and everything is free

Gone is the God that blessed our America Gone are the guns that protected our land Gone is the hope for no Chi-america Gone is your freedom--do you now understand?

CHORUS
