[Verse 1]
[G]An
American Boy Met An Girl
[C]An [G]American boy met an English girl
[D]Far [C]out [G]across the sea
They laughed and loved
in the English way,
their [A]hearts were filled with [D]glee
They knew [G]someday
he must return
[F#]to his nativ[C]e fami[F#]ly
[G]And when it came and the owl was nigh,
these words he heard her say
Please don't leave me [F#]here to cry,
[C]was his sweet arch [G]plea
Seems [F#]so hard for us[G] to part
and [A]leave me here to [D]grieve
[G]Though I know you must return
to your [C]native fam[G]ily
Tell me that you love me dear
an[F#]d wi[G]ll retur[Bm]n so[D]meda[G]y[C][G]
[F#][G][A][D][G][F#][G][C]
[G]
[F#]He kissed her, then he said goodbye,
[G]and slowly [C]walked [G]away.
He could not bear to [F#]see her c[G]ry,
it [A]filled his heart with [D]pain.
[A]She [F#]prayed and dreamed
of his return,
although [C]it never [G]came.
He wed her [F#]new in his [G]native l[F#]and,
but inside these words still ring
[G]Please [F#]don't leave me
here [D]to [G]cry,
watch this [F#]sweet arch flee
[G]See[F#]ms so hard for us to part
and [A]leave me here to [D]grieve
Though [F#]I know you mu[F#]st return
to your native family
[F#]Tell me that you love me, dear,
and we'll return some day
[G]
