Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]I'm[D] just a[Bm]n American boy,[F#m]
[Bm]rais[D]ed on MTV[A][D]
And [Em]I've seen all the kid
[Bm]s in the soda pop ads
But none of 'em look [F#m]like m[Bm]e.
So I started look[F#m]in' ar[Bm]ound
for a [D]light out [A]of the [D]dim
And [Em]the first thing I [Bm]heard that
made [F#m]sense was the word
[Bm]Of Mohammed, peace be up[F#m]on him[Bm]

[Verse 2]
[D]A shadu la i[A]laha illa All[Em]ah
There is [G]no God but God
[F#m]If my

[Verse 3]
[Bm]daddy could see me [F#m]now
[Bm]â??chain[D]s arou[A]nd my feet[D]
He [Em]don't under[Bm]stand
that some[F#m]times a man's
[Bm]Got to fight for what he believes
And I believe God [F#m]is gre[Bm]at,
[D]all praise [A]due to [D]him
And [Em]if I should di[Bm]e,
I'll rise [F#m]up to the sky
[Bm]Just like Jesus, peace be up[F#m]on him[Bm][D]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]We came to[F#m] fight the Jih[Bm]ad,
and our [D]hearts were [A]pure and [D]strong.
As [Em]death filled the [Bm]air , we
all [F#m]offered [Bm]up prayers
And prepared for our martyrdom.
But Allah had [F#m]some other p[Bm]lan,
some [D]secret [A]not [D]revealed
Now they're [Em]draggin' me
[Bm]back with my [F#m]head in a sack
[Bm]To the land of the infid[F#m]el.[Bm]
