Sean Rowe – American chords

verses:

Bb Cm Gm F

(You basically first hit the bass note and then the rest of the chords, best to play 
them all barré.)

Chorus:

Eb Bb
Eb Bb
Eb F (slide it up to Bb)

Thats about it. Beautiful song, easy to play.

BbI was naked and for once
I wasn’t ashamed.
CmI looked God in the eye
And he spit in my face.
GmHe left me on main street
And drove his hummer away.
F

Repeat the same for the verses


Oh the moon has been taken,
She knows who you are. The kingdom of Heaven
Is down at the mall. There’s a coat for Saint Peter
It was made in Korea today.

The Earth drops ajar as we float into space
We are moving to Mars by 2038
You know that there’s oil there it’s just a matter of time

Chorus

EbI’m a man
BbI am the world
EbI’m a man
BbI am the Lord
EbI’m a man
F (slide it to Bb at american)
But I ain’t that American

Oh she pokes out of science
She changes her skin
He falls out of religion
And washes his sins
They get married in France
Cause the deal is better out there
All the kids have grown up
On driveways and lawns
And the hunters keep secrets on factory farms
The children are hungry they’re eating a hole through the world

Chorus


Oh Eden’s been stolen
Shopped up and leased
Our heart hits the market before it can bleed
Her name is forgotten
Her ocean is now just a dream
As his love slips away from his work and his home
He puts out the lights and he jerks off alone
He’s married to cancer, he counts on his internet girl
Well I played like a robot
I’ve danced like a stone
I’ve done everything perfect
And I want what I own
I am naked and for once I am not ashamed

Chorus
