[Verse 1]
B5 E5 F#5
I was once an American kid
B5
Growing up on hallowed ground
E5
Rode to the river on a pretty red horse
F#5 B5
In a pretty little country town
[Verse 2]
E5 F#5
But I grew up fast, and I cast my vote
B5
For the president
E5
And I had my doubts, but I still had hope
F#5 B5
Until I read the finer print
[Chorus]
G5
Don't look now, but it won't be long
F#5 B5
They're gonna wonder what we did
G5
And we'll have to admit that we done them wrong
F#5 B5
God help the American kid
F#5 B5
Oh, God help the American kid
[Verse 3]
E5
Well I read the news and the paper too
F#5 B5
And I see 'em on the TV screen
E5
Maybe they know not what they do
F#5 B5
But I wish they'd say what they mean
[Verse 4]
E5
We stole this nation, fair and square
F#5 B5
And a whole lot of people in chains
E5
But it was all for the glory of God, I swear
F#5 B5
And the glory of capital gains
[Chorus]
G5
Don't look now, but it won't be long
F#5 B5
They're gonna wonder what we did
