Verse 1:
     C majorC
American Dream
   FF             C majorC
It's real, it's somethin' I've seen
  FF         G+G
And it all began as a no name band
    FF            C majorC  G+G
With a fiddle and rock and roll
       C majorC
And cigarette smoke
     FF             C majorC
She's the devil, but she's someone I know
  FF             G+G
She whispers to me through the laughter
     FF              C majorC  G+G
And every now and then I just give in

Chorus:
      C majorC   FF
Whiskey and water
         C majorC    FF
And girls without fathers
       A minorAm
A augmentedA headache tomorrow
    A minorAm          G+G
A augmentedA Hail Mary to make me feel sane
   FF             G+G          C majorC   FF
What happens, dear Mother, the day I forget how to pray?
    C majorC  FF
How to pray

Verse 2:
      C majorC
We shot the arrows
  FF             C majorC
We chased 'em down like old vaqueros
  FF               G+G
We drove through the night in the darkness
     FF             C majorC  G+G
Until the cold was just too much to take
      C majorC
It broke ya down
  FF              C majorC
The thought of us racin' through towns
   FF              G+G
But I swore it would just last the season
    FF               C majorC
But God knows that winter's long gone
     G+G
It's long gone

Chorus:
      C majorC   FF
Whiskey and water
         C majorC    FF
And girls without fathers
         A minorAm
When she leaves tomorrow
    A minorAm          G+G
A augmentedA Hail Mary to make me feel sane
   FF             G+G          C majorC   FF
What happens, dear Mother, the day I forget how to pray?
    C majorC  FF
How to pray

Bridge:
     G+G             FF
And that next town's lights get to shinin' so bright
   C majorC      E minorEm     Fadd2
But I find myself feelin' at home
       Fadd2
And I'm sorry

Chorus:
      C majorC   FF
Whiskey and water
         C majorC    FF
And girls without fathers
         A minorAm
When we leave tomorrow
    A minorAm          G+G
A augmentedA Hail Mary to make me feel sane
      FF            G+G       C majorC     FF
But please help me, dear Mother, to never forget how to pray?
    C majorC  FF  C majorC
How to pray
