Tone [D]
Verse:
[D]Well she was an [E7]American girl.
[G]Raised on [A]promises
[D]She couldn't help [E7]thinking that there was
a [G]little more to life [A]somewhere else
After all it was a [D]great big world
[G]with lots of places to [Em]run to
[A]And if she had to die tryin' she
had one little promise she was gonna keep
Chorus:
[G]Oh yeah, [A]allright, [D]take it easy baby [Bm]make it last all night [G]
She was [A] an American [D]girl
Verse:
[D]Well it was kinda cold [E7] that night
[G]She stood alone on the [A] balcony
[D]Yeh, she could hear the [E7]cars roll by,
out on [G] four-fortyone like [A]waves crashing on the beach
And for one des'rate [D]moment there
[G]he crept back in her [Em]memory
[A]God it's so painful when something
that's so close is still so far to reach.
Chorus:
[G]Oh yeah, [A]allright, [D]take it easy baby [Bm]make it last all night [G]
She was [A] an American [D]girl
