American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come hanging around my door
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman, stay away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come knocking around my door
I don't want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, I said get way
American woman, listen what I say
Don't come hanging around my door
Don't want to see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
I gotta go
I gotta get away
Babe, I gotta go
I want to fly away
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
American woman
You're no good for me
And I'm no good for you
(American woman) I'm looking right straight in the eye
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
(American woman) I'm gonna leave you woman
You know I gotta go (American woman)
I'm gonna leave you woman
I gotta go
(American woman) I gotta go
I gotta go
American woman

~The solo is played over this next part. This guitar is played in the background. I will post the tab for the solo later. If you would like to
get it sooner, email me. Also, notice that this part, for the first two riffs, is the same main riff, played one fret lower

I gotta go...
I gotta go... American woman... yeah...
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come hanging around my door
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman, stay away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come knocking around my door
I don't want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, I said get way
American woman, listen what I say
Don't come hanging around my door
Don't want to see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
I gotta go
I gotta get away
Babe, I gotta go
I want to fly away
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
American woman
You're no good for me
And I'm no good for you
(American woman) I'm looking right straight in the eye
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
(American woman) I'm gonna leave you woman
You know I gotta go (American woman)
I'm gonna leave you woman
I gotta go
