Make It In America chords by Victoria Justice

Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 2nd

In case you don’t know, to play Cadd9, just put your fingers on a G+G but ’jump’ them all
in one string to play the chord.
Or, it’s basically a C majorC but move the finger that’s on the BB string down 2 frets.
You will have to re-arrange your fingers so it is more comfortable.


Standard Tuning
Capo 2

Intro : G+G Cadd9Cadd9 x2

Verse 1:
   G+G           Cadd9Cadd9
Got a one-way ticket down a two way street
    G+G              Cadd9Cadd9
Got the wind in my hair and there’s dust on my feet

I’m just trying
  C majorC
To make it in America

G+G

   (G+G)          Cadd9Cadd9
Only thing to my name is an old t-shirt
   G+G           Cadd9Cadd9
Faded nine-teen eighty-five from a Stones concert

And I’m dying
  C majorC
To make it in America

and I’m driving
C majorC
Straight through America

I can see my star sunset and vine
Gonna carve my name in the Hollywood sign

If I just push on I know that
