Thread Name: Chord Req: My Love Is in America (Chris Leslie)
Subject: Chord Req: My Love is in America
I have started trying to perform this as I really like the song (the Chris Leslie one not the other one mentioned in other threads) and have worked out chords.

However while it's not totally wrong, it doesn't sound quite right. Can anyone play it able to offer some fine (or major if my ear is that bad!) tuning?

This is what I have for a verse and chorus -

[A]When I saw [A/C#]Mary [A/E]her [D]father said
He was [A]sailing a[A/C#]cross the deep [D]blue
[E]Brighter new [E/D]days in the [F#m/C#]promised [D]land
And [A]she would be [A/C#]going there [D]too

So I [A]keep her in my [D]mind
There's a [A]picture on my [D]wall
My [E]love is [E/D]in [F#m/C#]America
My [A/E]love could be [E]anywhere at [D]all

Thanks

As an aside, I am surprised this isn't played more - especially for a song that did well in awards last year. Usually popular/played songs tend to pop up in google or chord/lyric sites and I have not seen it anywhere. Does anyone else (apart from Bob Fox) perform it?
