Verse 1
Em C G There was smoke up to my eyeballs Em C G Poison burned my throat Em C G But I said I'd keep on going Em C G When everyone said don't Em C G With my bony-chested t-shirt Em C G Some stolen guitar licks Em C G Navigating by dead reckoning Em C G In 1976 Em C G And when the mighty chains of darkness Em C G Had me on the ropes Em C G Everyone said quit now Em C G That's when I found hope.
Chorus
Em C G So please don't tell Columbus Em C G Don't tell his queen for sure Em C G That I had the accurate compass Em C D G And I discovered America Em C D G Yeah I discovered America
Verse 2
Em C G Well the guy in the five and dime store Em C G Said it ain't anywhere around here Em C G Take your business elsewhere Em C G Along with your mad idea Em C G So I looked inside your closet Em C G And your broken tv set Em C G You said that you were born here Em C G But you hadn't found it yet
Chorus
Em C G So please don't tell Columbus Em C G Don't tell his queen for sure Em C G That I had the accurate compass Em C D G And I discovered America Em C D G Yeah I discovered America

C G Well they've dammed the Yangtse River D G There'll be hell to pay C G But I guess that's what you do D When the Yangtse River gets in your way
Verse 3
Em C G But I had that positive feeling Em C G I knew I was on the right track Em C G When a flat earth society member Em C G Told me I must turn back Em C G He said I’d reach the abyss Em C G And keep on going down Em C G So I gave him my last pencil Em C G And I flattened him to the ground Em C G Then an army of Christian soldiers Em C G Broke through the ranks and charged Em C G With their ice cream vendor buddies Em C G And their milquetoast rearguard Em C G They had wheelbarrows full of elastic Em C G And paper mache hearts Em C G And things I did not recognize Em C G Impaled upon their darts Em C G And when the mighty chains of darkness Em C G Had me on the ropes Em C G Everyone said quit now Em C G That's when I found hope Em C G Yeah that's when I found hope
Chorus
Em C G So please don't tell Columbus Em C G Don't tell his queen for sure Em C G That I had the accurate compass Em C D G And I discovered America Em C G So please don't tell Columbus Em C G Don't tell his queen for sure Em C G That I had the accurate compass Em C D G And I discovered America Em C D G And I discovered America Em C D G And I discovered America Em C D G And I discovered America
