American Soil Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Gm][D]

[Verse 1]
There's [D]something in the water,
something [G]sick in the blood and the [D]oil
See the white chicken grinning,
see [G]the serpent in a horrible [D]coil
Don't [G]be scared by the stares of
the peasants on the subway car
Because [D]the way things seem in a dream
is [C]just [G]the way that they [D]are
And I can [A]feel God taking [G]his eyes off you,
you were [E]born for [G]American [D]soil, [G]oh, [D]yes

[Verse 2]
[G]
Every [D]race has its place,
every [G]na tion fights for [D]species' survival
I'm a Jew through and through and
I'm [G]about to write you [D]a Bible
Now, let [G]me take your hand and show you through
the twisted hallways of The House of Song
We got [D]the magazine wallpaper and
a mil[C]lion [G]dollar bills on the [D]lawn
Oh, and I can [A]feel God taking [D]his [G]eyes off us,
we were born for American [D]soil

[Verse 3]
Ah- ah, [G]ah- ah, [D]ah- [G]ah
Ooh, [D]ooh, ooh

[Verse 4]
[D]
You don't have to be clever to detect
a [G]big Americ[D]an sadness
When the population rules,
every man [G]has his hand in [D]the madness
Well, there's a [G]dead grove of trees you
can visit on the outside of town
And there's a di[D]gital dust inside
[G]the cemetery settling [D]down
Ooh, and I can [A]feel God taking his eye[G]s off us,
we were [E]born [D]for [G]American [D]soil
Ah- ah- [G]ah- ah- ah- ah- ah
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Well, now [D]we have seen every baby has to
[G]have some kind of [D]mother and father
But the child's gone wild and the [G]piece
has got away from the au[D]thor
Well, if [G]freedom isn't free,
all the bills must just be lost in the mail
And the [D]highways are on fire and the
serpent [G]is now eating its tail
[D]Oh, and we can fee[A]l God taking his[G] eyes off us,
we were born [E]for [G]American soil

[Verse 6]
[D]Ah- ah, ah-[G] ah,[D] ah- ah
[G]Ah- ah- [D]ah- ah- ah- ah- [G]oh,[D]

[Outro 1]
ooh
[G]
