John Trudell...

G C G

Wild American, you're the one they never tamed

C G

'Cause you stood your ground and they could not make you change

C G

You're the warnin' they still don't understand

C G

Watch your back now, they'll kill you if they can

CHORUS:

C G

When they burn your brother down in the name of freedom

C G

I don't care if that's left or right, it's wrong

C G

If that's all they can do then you don't need 'em

D G

You're the one, Wild American

Steve Earle...

A D A

I remember it was somethin' that you said

D A

Put your picture in the paper and a price upon your head

D A

You said brother if you really give a damn

D A

Just remember we're all sons of Abraham

CHORUS:

D A

Sing a sadder song of freedom

D A

Slowly sinkin' with the sun

D A

Waitin' for a burnin' star to lead 'em

E A

You're the one, Wild American

CHORUS:

D A

Sing a sadder song of freedom, Merle Haggard

D A

Slowly sinkin' with the sun, Willie Nelson

D A

Heroes happen when ya need 'em

E A E A

You're the one, Wild American
