American by Stone Cold Fox
Chords:
D G
Inside my house we had forgotten now
D G
Inside my house we had forgotten how
Bm
To live in the country with three white stones
G
Surrounding a flag of branches and bones
Bm
Of mirrors of contracts and signed armored clad
G
Of the ways we play circus to hide what we had
----
D G
They won't tell me what I am to be an American
D G
I'm here but my hearts at sea, oh they won't speak for me
----
D G
And someone spoke too soon they got caught again
D G
And the kids they lost their breath in the revolution
Bm
They settled for houses and for small kids
G
To tell them the stories of when they were young
Bm
The warriors they thought they'd become
G
Now hide in the surface like the roots from the sun
----
D G
They won't tell me what I am to be an American
D G
I'm here but my hearts at sea, oh they won't speak for me
-----
BRIDGE: Bm, G, Bm, G, A7sus4 , A
----
D
I will stay up late and dig my own trench
G
I'll ask all the questions they never present
Bm
And it's sick and its vain and it's hard to explain
G
To question the role or the play of the game
D
Not for your founding father or for the new born threat
G
Not for your radical breach that you tend to forget
Bm
Not for your good mother or the weight of her debt
G
Not for your children at sea, but your own way to..ooo
D G
Tell what you are to be an American
D G
I can't live by your words and remain the person which I came
D G
They wont tell me what I am to be an American
D G
I'm here but I'm losing my cool, no I won't wait for you.
NOTES:
After most of the D chords and before each G you can play a Dmaj7, ex:
D Dmaj7 G
Inside my house we had forgotten now
