Tôi là người Việt Nam

1. [C] When I was young, I thought I [G] knew it all
[C] My mom would tell me the [F] stories of our [Am] home
The fields of rice, the [G] lullabies she was [F] singing to me
It’s [C] been so long a-[Dm] go, oh ouh oh It [C] seems so [Em] far a-[F] way
And now I rea-[Am] lize I’ve ne-[G] ver seen you be-[F] fore.

ĐK: Vietnam your [C] beauty lies with-[Dm] in
Sweetest dreams of [F] whispering [G] winds
I hear your voice in-[Am] side of me
[Em] Telling me who I [F] am, who I [G] am
Vietnam your [C] beauty reso-[Dm] nates
Water flows [F] through your thousand [G] lakes
One day I will [Am] find my way
To [Em] where it all be-[Dm] gan
And [G] say “Tôi là người Việt [C] Nam”

2. [C] I long to know about [G] my beginning
[C] The meaning of my [F] name, my golden [Am] skin
Little towns, sacred [C] temples where my an-[F] cestors watch over me
It’s [C] been so long a-[Dm] go, oh ouh oh It [C] seems so [Em] far a-[F] way
But no matter where I [Am] go, where I was [C] born
I’ll always know a [F] part of you is deep in my [G] heart

* [F] Vietnam deep in my [G] heart
Từ trong [F] tim tôi mãi là người Việt [C] Nam
