American Girls chords by The Crookes

Start with single strums.

D                    E
You never crossed my mind
             A              D
As i crossed all of those borderlines

D                     E
Its an awful thing to say, im sorry
    A              D        Dm
But i was slipping away. I slipped away.

A          G          D
Mary-Lou's a drifter
                   E
Oh she bummed a roll-up and a ride
  A                 G                  D
And her southern drawl split those warm nights

 A               G
"Well its nice to meet you
    D             E                 A
And youre very English well aint that swell.
   G                D               E
Oh come on kid lets give em' hell."

  A       G      D       E
Those American girls
  A       G      D       E
Those American girls
  A       G      D       E
Those American girls
  A       G      D       E
Those American girls (They make it easy)

 A        G        D
Jazz fourty-fives and
           E                  A
Young dusty lust in 3 'o' clock wind
             G             D        E
I lost quick lovers to sloe gin

F#m
I was happy chasing,
C#m
Your skirt, Heartbeats racing
D                 E
Then i skipped across the world...

D                    E
You never crossed my mind
             A              D
As i crossed all of those borderlines

D                     E
Its an awful thing to say, im sorry
    A              D        Dm
But i was slipping away. I slipped away.


  A       G      D       E
Those American girls
  A       G      D       E
Those American girls
  A       G      D       E
Those American girls
  A       G      D       E
Those American girls (They make it easy)

End on A - single strum.
