Immortal Americans chords by Austin Lucas

Chords with lyrics

Intro:
C/GC/G CsusCsus A minorAm


Verse 1:

       C/GC/G   D MajorD         CsusCsus
We were never fans of stock-car races

CsusCsus  C/GC/G    D MajorD            A minorAm
Though mesmerized by the roaring of those cars

A minorAm     D MajorD               CsusCsus
Out in the dark the sound echoed off our skin

       C/GC/G      D MajorD       C/GC/G  D MajorD
As we took to rooftop those engines on the wind

Chorus:

     C/GC/G
Where we sang the songs of our fathers

   D MajorD
Shah-la-la, ooh-la-la-la

  CsusCsus
And all the prayers of our mothers

    C/GC/G        D MajorD
Dutiful daughters, dutiful sons

   A minorAm            E minorEm
Shah-la-la goes the rattle and hum

     CsusCsus          C/GC/G
From the hearth of a midwestern home

    D MajorD                      A minorAm C/GC/G
Shah-la-la: that's the sound of immortal Americans


Verse 2:

C/GC/G               D MajorD
When children turn the radio on

                  CsusCsus
Fists hit the air praising rock and roll gods

            C/GC/G         D MajorD         A minorAm
From the soil they are formed, born to grow corn and cut stone

          E minorEm       CsusCsus       C/GC/G
They trade off the verses and they sing twin in the choruses

D MajorD
Babes of the Bible Belt

Maybe low-hanging fruit in the forest

Chorus:

     C/GC/G
But they sang the songs of our fathers

   D MajorD
Shah-la-la, ooh-la-la-la

  CsusCsus
And all the prayers of their mothers

    C/GC/G        D MajorD
Dutiful daughters, dutiful sons

    A minorAm           E minorEm
Shah-la-la goes the rattle and hum

     CsusCsus          C/GC/G
From the hearth of a midwestern home

    D MajorD                     C/GC/G
Shah-la-la: that's the sound of immortal Americans


Verse 3:

CsusCsus         D MajorD
My friends turned the radio off

CsusCsus         D MajorD
Those holy hymns were no longer ours


Chorus:

     C/GC/G
Though we sang the songs of our fathers

N.C.
Shah-la-la, ooh-la-la-la

N.C
And all the prayers of our mothers

N.C.
Dutiful daughters, dutiful sons

    A minorAm           E minorEm
Shah-la-la goes the rattle and hum

     CsusCsus          C/GC/G
From the hearth of a midwestern home

    D MajorD                     C/GC/G
Shah-la-la: that's the sound of immortal Americans
