(If you want to be really picky, you can add an sus4 chord before the last chord
in each of the verses. See Verse 5 for an example. Only for the completest!)

Intro: A augmentedA E MajorE  A augmentedA BB A augmentedA

Verse 1:
E MajorE  A augmentedA  E MajorE
I am not American,
     A augmentedA       E MajorE
Though I live in North America
     A augmentedA    BB  E MajorE
Which is part of the Americas
       A augmentedA      BB
Which should make me an American

Verse 2: (Same chords as Verse 1)
Geographically Canadians,
Are certainly Americans
As are Venezuelans,
But not Hawaiians

Chorus 1:
    A augmentedA            E MajorE
They're out in the middle of the Ocean
A augmentedA       BB      E MajorE
Just like the U.S. Virgin Islands,
  A augmentedA               G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
Who really shouldn't say they are Americans,
F#F#   BB
Or even virgins

Verse 3:
E MajorE    A augmentedA     E MajorE
How did two whole continents,
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
Lose their name to one constituent?
A augmentedA           G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
Where were we when the U.S. went,
  F#F#           BB
And took the word American away?

Verse 4: (Same as Verse 3 chords)
But to be fair to them,
Their other name options,
Like U.S.A.ers or United Statesians,
Were pretty bad

Chorus 2: (Same as Chorus 1)
Still I want to be as American,
As the French are European,
Or those in Antarctica are Antarctican
Even if they're just penguins

Verse 5: (Same as Verse 3)
That leaves us Canadians
As Northern North Americans,
But Alaska's Norther curse them
               (C#sus) C#C#
We're surrounded by Americans. Americans!

Verse 6:
    F#F#        BB   F#F#
I just called those U.S.A.ers Americans
 BB               F#F#
A augmentedA name meant for two continents not just them
  BB  C#C#     BbmBbm EbmEbm
For if I said I was American,
G#G#                   C#C#
People would probably think I came from Maine

Chorus 3:
BB   C#C#    F#F#
Still I think I have a plan,
BB   C#C#    F#F#
Let's become Antarctican,
BB    C#C#   BbmBbm  EbmEbm
And join up with the penguins
G#G#      C#C#     BB  C#C# F#F# BB F#F#
