Episode 7 - Only In America

In episode 7 we are learning Only In America. This song’s lyrical content is rich so dig in (I put them below)! Only In America has been in the works since the After It All sessions. We started recording it between our L.A. & Tarquin Studios and it didn’t get finished in time for consideration on After It All. I love this song and hope we’ll get to play it live in front of people one of these days.

Check out this video of my playing the main riff back in 2015 HERE.

Best of luck learning this one and as always shoot me a message on twitter/IG if you get hung up anywhere.

Only In America

On the banks of the Mississippi

They build ships too big to fail

In the banks in New York City

They invent new ways to steal your money and run

Set the poor against the poor

Send healthy young men to war and never look back

I don’t pine for the days of old

Segregation and our women can’t vote

Said a Hallelujah for the ways we’ve grown

We still got a long way to go

Hey hey hey

Only in America

Hey, fields of gold

Only in America

Hey, blue mountains roll

Only in America

Hey, we feel at home

Only in America

On the streets where Kings have marched

In history’s long and lonely arc

We hide our problems in the dark

Until them bullets fly and strike our heroes down

Well I don’t pine for the days of old

Segregation and our women can’t vote

Said a Hallelujah for the ways we’ve grown

We still got a long way to go

Hey hey hey

Only in America

Hey, fields of gold

Only in America

Hey, blue mountains roll

Only in America

Hey, we feel at home

Only in America

Conman in the highest office in the land Goddamn

Says make America great again

I know

I thought we were trying to be the best we ever been

I kneel I stand for what I believe in

Can you believe?

Only in America
