American

F#m A F#m A F#m A E

[Verse]
F#m                A
Wheres your honor, wheres my pride?
F#m            A
Even when it's hard to find
F#m                   A         E
From seed to harvest, it's been engrained

F#m               A
Drive me past the fields of corn
F#m                   A
As Johnny Cash blasts in your Ford
F#m                 A              E
Just get me home to catch the big game

[Chorus]
             D      F#m
Cause I was born an American
       D          E
On the same dark soil
            Bm        F#m      D
Through the years and all the changes
             F#m E         D
Still theres no place like home
           E      F#m
I will die an American

F#m A F#m A F#m A E

[Verse]
F#m              A
It's fireflies & times of war
F#m               A
I think back to a time before
F#m                A        E
Of catching fireflies in my hands

F#m                      A
Then it seems I grew up in a flash
F#m                A
A copper penny flying off a track
F#m                A          E
Free to fall in love with any man

[Chorus]
             D      F#m
Cause I was born an American
       D          E
On the same dark soil
            Bm        F#m      D
Through the years and all the changes
             F#m E         D
Still theres no place like home

D             F#m
I was born an American
D                        E
and though I've grow(i)n old
            Bm        F#m      D
Through the years and all the changes
             F#m E         D
Still theres no place like home
           E      F#m
and I will die an American
