[C]When I was young I thought I [Dm]knew it all
[Em]My mom would tell me the [F]stories of our home
[Am]The fields of rice the [G]lullabies she was [F]singing to me
It’s [C]been so long a[Dm]go Oh
It [Em]seems so far a[F]way and now I rea[Am]lize
I’ve ne[G]ver seen you be[F]fore
Vietnam your [C]beauty lies wi[Dm]thin
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[F]gan and [G]say “Tôi là người Việt [C]Nam”
[C]I long to know about [Dm]my beginning [Em]the meaning of my [F]name
my golden [Am]skin little towns sacred
[G]temples where my an[F]cestors watch over me
It’s [C]been so long a[Dm]go Oh It [Em]seems so far a[F]way But no matter
where I [Am]go where I was [G]born. I’ll
always know a [F]part of you is deep in my heart
Vietnam your [C]beauty lies wi[Dm]thin
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[F]gan and [G]say “Tôi là người Việt [C]Nam”

Từ trong [G]tim tôi mãi là người Việt [F]Nam
Vietnam your [C]beauty lies wi[Dm]thin
Sweetest dreams of [F]whispering [G]winds
