D E7 G A

Well she was an American girl raised on promises

D E7

She couldn't help thinking that there was

G A

A little more to life somewhere else

D G Em

After all it was a great big world with lots of places to run to

And if she had to die trying she had one little promise she was gonna

keep

G A D Bm

Oh yea allright take it easy baby make it last all night

G A D

She was an American girl

D E7 G A

Well it was kind cold that night she stood alone on the balcony

D E7

Yea she could hear the cars roll by

G A

Out on 441 like waves crashing on the beach

D G Em

A

God it's so painful when something that's so close

Is hard to find

G A D Bm

Oh yea allright take it easy baby make it last all night

G A D

She was an American girl
