[C][G]

[Verse 1]
I've seen God's [G]children in trailer park[A]s
Seen Caddies [C]cruisin' for movie [G]stars
A ruby saddle in a neon sky
[A]And a southern tow[C]n even
time passed by
I watched the sun fall down in the [G]canyons
[B]I nearly met my maker in L[C]A[B]
[A]I thought I'd seen it all
[D]Until she showed me the
Amer[Em]ican [C]way[G]
[D]Oh, the Ame[Em]rican way[C][G]
[D]Well I wok[Em]e up to [C]a bra[G]nd
new [D]day
[Em]The American [C]way[G][D][G]
Flyin' J shone a light on [A]me
Like my one true [C]friend I was happy to [G]be
On a diamond highway rollin' [A]on
As we drove through the
[C]night the radio sang along
I had a crisis out on the [G]back road
[B]I spent eternity on the freew[C]ay[B]
[A]And I was truly lost
[D]Until she showed me the
Amer[Em]ican [C]way[G]
[D]Oh, the Ame[Em]rican way[C][G]
[D]Well she for[Em]ced me on [C]my kne[G]es to pra[D]y
The [Em]American [C]way[G][D][A]
Shine on [Bm]me[G]
Home of the [C]brave
Shine on us [D]all
[G]Land of the [Em]free
Won't [F#m]you shine [D]on
[C]I've seen an angel drink from the bot[G]tle
[B]I heard everything she had t[C]o say[G]
[A]But I know I knew nothing
[D]Until she showed me the
Amer[Em]ican [C]way[G]
[D]Oh, the Ame[Em]rican way[C][G]
[D]Well I wok[Em]e up to a bra[D]nd new day
And she [Em]forced me on my [D]knees to pray
And [Em]I swear I [C]heard Superman
[G]Tellin' [D]me it's [C]OK
It's the American [Em]way[C][G]
[D]Oh, the Ame[Em]rican way,
[C]the[G] Am[D]erican [Em]way[C][G]
[D]Here she [Em]comes
[C]Here she comes
[G]Here she comes [D]here she comes
