Intro: Am G Em F Verse: Am G If you were born here, it's automatic Em You got your membership right outta the gate F But if that ain't you, yeah, it's not too late Am G If you were born somewhere else and wanna make a life here Em Gotta spend a few years and pass the test F Take an oath saying you love this country the best Pre-Chorus: Am G Em Oh, I can see a day when we will celebrate F We'll celebrate, we'll celebrate as we say
Chorus: Am G I am, I am an American citizen Em This ain't just the place I'm living in F I got rights like electing the president Am G I am, I am an American citizen Em Our foundation's a nation of immigrants F Am I am an American citizen G Em F Oh Oh Oh Verse: Am G We the, the people, come from all over the world Em We believe that there's nowhere better F We are strong when we stand together Am G And right now in a small-town courthouse, history is being made Em There's freedom welling up in someone's eyes F 'Cause their dream is being realized Pre-Chorus: Am G Em Today could be the day that we, we celebrate F We celebrate, we celebrate as we say Chorus: Am G I am, I am an American citizen Em This ain't just the place I'm living in F I got rights like electing the president Am G I am, I am an American citizen Em Our foundation's a nation of immigrants F Am I am an American citizen G Em F Oh Oh Oh Am I am an American Citizen G Em F Oh Oh Oh Verse: Am When you're a citizen, you get the right to vote G When you can speak your mind, whatever floats your boat Em You can petition for close family members F To come and live here and be together Am You can run for office and lead your crew G But you got some responsibilities, too Em If in this country, there's ever a need F Serve on a jury from overseas Am Support and defend the constitution G Taxes you pay are a contribution Em For the freedom and liberty F My country, 'tis of thee Chorus: Am G I am, I am an American citizen Em This ain't just the place I'm living in F I got rights like electing the president Am G I am, I am an American citizen Em Our foundation's a nation of immigrants F Am I am an American citizen G Em F Oh Oh Oh Am I am an American Citizen G Em F Oh Oh Oh I am an American Citizen G Em F Oh Oh Oh
