[Verse 1]
[A]Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
[D]End up like a dog that's been beat too much

'Til you spend half your life just covering up
[A]Born in the U.S.A
I was born in the U.S.A
I [D]was born in the U.S.A

[Verse 2]
Born in the U.S.A
[A]Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
[D]Sent me off to a foreign land

[Chorus 2]
To go and kill the yellow man
[A]Born in the U.S.A
I was born in the U.S.A
I [D]was born in the U.S.A

[Verse 3]
I was born in the U.S.A
[A]Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said "son if it was up to me"
[D]Went down to see my V.A. man

He said "son, don't you understand"

[Verse 4]
[A]I had a brother at Khe Sanh
fighting off the Viet Cong
[D]They're still there, he's all gone
[A]He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
[D]

[Verse 5]
[A]Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
[D]I'm ten years burning down the road
