American Way Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]If you fly in from Birmingham
You'll get the last gate
If you blew in from Boston
No, you sure won't have to wait

[Verse 2]
And I'm [C]learnin' a little more every [G]day
Aww, 'bout the [D]power of the dollar
And the people with white collars
And the good old American [G]way

[Verse 3]
I've [G]noticed I don't get
much help
When they see my blue jeans
Some slick with a suit walks up
"Oh, can I help you, please?"

[Verse 4]
Yes, I'm [C]learnin' as I gain a little [G]age
Aww, 'bout the [D]power of the dollar
And the people with white collars
And the good old American
[G]way

[Verse 5]
Some [A]high society lady says
"Is your horse outside?"
"No, ma'am he's between my legs
But you're too fat to ride!"

[Verse 6]
And you're [D]learnin' a little
More about my [A]ways
And what I [E]think about your dollar
And your white collar
And your good old American [A]way

[Verse 7]
If [A]you don't like my Nudie boots
I'm sorry about that
Don't make fun of my hat too
Or you might get knocked flat

[Verse 8]
And you'll learn some [D]more if you
Ever pass down [A]our way
Aww, 'bout the folk[E]s
without the dollars
And without white collars
Hell, they are the American [A]way
