America Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Alright.
[C]Hey, [G]hey [D]what [G]do you say?
I come from a place called the [D]U.S. of [G]A.
[C]Ho, [G]ho [D]what do you know?
[G]Hop in my car and let's [D]go.

[Verse 2]
Well [G]this is a song for [D]America,
[G]Home of the red, white, and [D]blue.
[C]Land of [G]Marilyn Monroe
and James Dean,
[C]Apple pie, [G]baseball, and Shell gasoline,
And if you don't [D]love her fuck [G]you.

[Verse 3]
[G]Beloved by all from [D]Tikrit to Beijing,
[Em]If the world[G] were a school we'd be
[D]homecoming [Em]king.
[G]Worshiped by France and by
[D]North Vietnam,
Afgh[C]anistan [G]thinks we're the [D]bomb.

[Verse 4]
Oh, [G]this is a song for [D]America,
[G]Home of the red, white, and [D]blue.
[C]Land of Marilyn Mon[G]roe
and James Dean,
[C]Apple pie, [G]baseball, and Shell gasoline,
[C]
SUVs, handgun[G]s, and US magazine,
And if you don't [D]love her,
fuck [G]you.

[Verse 5]
[G]Our human rights record is
[D]something [Em]of note:
We [C]freed all our [G]slaves and gave
[D]women the [Em]vote.
[C]Everyone's [G]equal [D]forever, al[C]ways,
[G]Unless you're one of them [D]gays.

[Verse 6]
Oh, [G]this is a song for [D]America,
[G]Home of the red, white, and [D]blue.
[C]Land of [G]Marilyn Monroe
and James Dean,
[C]Apple pie, [G]baseball, and Shell gasoline,
[C]
SUVs, handgun[G]s, and US magazine,
[C]Low-carb [G]diets and fast food cuisine,
And if you don't [D]love her
fuck [G]you.

[Verse 7]
[G]To all war-torn nations, nations,
to [D]those in tur[Em]moil,
We'll [G]help you kill despots,
[D]we'll help you drill oil,
[G]And if you don't want o[D]ur help, that's ok
[C]We're coming in any[G]way[D].

[Verse 8]
Oh, [G]this is a song for [D]America,
[G]Home of the red, white, [D]and blue.
[C]Land of [G]Marilyn Monroe
and James Dean,
[C]Apple pie, [G]baseball, and Shell gasoline,
[C][G]
SUVs, handguns, and US magazine,
And if [C]you don't love [G]her, fuck you.
Crack cocaine,
Abu Ghraib, and nicotine,
[C]Swindling CEOs [G]getting off clean,
[C]Housewives all hopped up on
[G]amphetamine,
[C]Nipples get [G]rated [C]NC-17,
FEMA and levies [G]and
Hurr'cane Katrine
George Bush's great rolling [Em]war machine.
I [C]think we're in [D]trouble, don't [G]you?

[Verse 9]
It [C]might seem I don't [G]think
our coun[D]try's so great,
[Em]But intole[C]rance, bigot[G]ry,
[D]greed's what I hat[Em]e.
[C]Most folks are [G]honest [D]and decent and t[Em]rue,
[C]Peaceful, compassionate[G],
[D]good through and [Em]through.
[C]That's what it [G]means [D]to be red,
white, and [Em]blue,
And [G]if you don't [D]think so fuck [G]you,
If you don't [D]think so fuck [G]you.
