• Capo on 1st

Key: C#

🎸 Intro:

| C  | F  |



🎸 Verse 1:
         G
She got hair as gold as Kansas wheat
     G
Her body moves like Bourbon street
    F
In New Orleans, so wild and free
         G
She's a California red sunset
  G
Stars in her eyes, stripes on her dress
       F
Every summer night feels like the fourth of July

🎸 Chorus:
        C
She's American
                                 F
Making my world better than it's ever been
                                  G
One part Norma Jean and one part Marilyn
                                  F
She's making me fall in love with everything American


🎸 Verse 2:
          C
She's a small town smile, a little white church
  C
"Born To Run" on a faded T-shirt
F
All I know is I'm at home when I'm with her
          G
Yeah
I grew up singing Eagles songs
     G
Sometimes I wonder what took so long
    F
To feel enough to give the best of my love
       G
She's New York pretty all dressed up
       G
But a southern belle in the back of her truck
      F
On an old dirt road, she's where I wanna go


🎸 Chorus:
        C
She's American
                                 F
Making my world better than it's ever been
                                  G
One part Norma Jean and one part Marilyn
                                  F                   C
She's making me fall in love with everything American
