American by Sean Rowe
American
verses:
Bb Cm Gm F
(You basically first hit the bass note and then the rest of the chords, best to play
them all barré.)
Chorus:
Eb Bb
Eb Bb
Eb F (slide it up to Bb)
Thats about it. Beautiful song, easy to play.
Bb
I was naked and for once
I wasn’t ashamed.
Cm
I looked God in the eye
And he spit in my face.
Gm
He left me on main street
And drove his hummer away.
F
Repeat the same for the verses
Oh the moon has been taken,
She knows who you are. The kingdom of Heaven
Is down at the mall. There’s a coat for Saint Peter
It was made in Korea today.
The Earth drops ajar as we float into space
We are moving to Mars by 2038
You know that there’s oil there it’s just a matter of time
Chorus
Eb
I’m a man
Bb
I am the world
Eb
I’m a man
Bb
I am the Lord
Eb
I’m a man
F (slide it to Bb at american)
But I ain’t that American
Oh she pokes out of science
She changes her skin
He falls out of religion
And washes his sins
They get married in France
Cause the deal is better out there
All the kids have grown up
On driveways and lawns
And the hunters keep secrets on factory farms
The children are hungry they’re eating a hole through the world
Chorus
Oh Eden’s been stolen
Shopped up and leased
Our heart hits the market before it can bleed
Her name is forgotten
Her ocean is now just a dream
As his love slips away from his work and his home
He puts out the lights and he jerks off alone
He’s married to cancer, he counts on his internet girl
Well I played like a robot
I’ve danced like a stone
I’ve done everything perfect
And I want what I own
I am naked and for once I am not ashamed
Chorus
