EAE
I am not American,
AE
Though I live in North America

Which is part of the Americas
AB
Which should make me an American
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Verse 2: (Same chords as Verse 1)
Geographically Canadians,
Are certainly Americans
As are Venezuelans,
But not Hawaiians
Chorus 1:
AE
They're out in the middle of the Ocean
ABE
Just like the U.S. Virgin Islands,
AG#mC#m
Who really shouldn't say they are Americans,
F#B
Or even virgins
Verse 3:
EAE
How did two whole continents,
AE
Lose their name to one constituent?
AG#mC#m
Where were we when the U.S. went,
F#B
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#
We're surrounded by Americans. Americans!
Verse 6:
F#BF#
I just called those U.S.A.ers Americans
BF#A name meant for two continents not just them
BC#BbmEbm
For if I said I was American,
G#C#
People would probably think I came from Maine
Chorus 3:
BC#F#
Still I think I have a plan,
BC#F#
Let's become Antarctican,
BC#BbmEbm
And join up with the penguins
G#C#BC#F#BF#
