D MajorD


Verse:

D MajorD         E7E7      G+G     A augmentedA
 Well, she was an American Girl, raised on promises


D MajorD         E7E7
 She couldn't help thinking that there


    G+G          A augmentedA
 Was a little more to life somewhere else

           D MajorD
 After all, it was a great big world


G+G            E minorEm
 With lots of places to run to


 A augmentedA
 And if she had to die tryin'


                      G+G
 She had one little promise she was gonna keep


Chorus:

   A augmentedA   D MajorD
Oh yeah, alright


         B minorBm         G+G
Take it easy baby, make it last all night


   A augmentedA       D MajorD
She was an American Girl!


Verse:

D MajorD          E7E7
 Well, it was kinda cold that night

 G+G           A augmentedA
 She stood alone on her balcony


D MajorD             E7E7
 Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by


    G+G    A augmentedA
 Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach


            D MajorD
 And for one desperate moment there


 G+G          E minorEm
 He crept back in her memory


 A augmentedA
 God, it's so painful when something that's so close


             G+G
 Is still so far out of reach!


Chorus:

   A augmentedA   D MajorD
Oh yeah, alright


         B minorBm         G+G
Take it easy baby, make it last all night


   A augmentedA       D MajorD
She was an American Girl!
