C7+                               
"Hey, mister, it's really, really 
            Am7

I just met this five-foot-seven girl
                E7+

                    C7+     
Like the way she's speakin', 
                  Am7
confidence is peakin'
Don't like those baggy jeans, but I 
                            E7+
might like what's underneath them

[Chorus]
                   C7+
Dressed in all your fancy clothes
Am7
Sneakers looking fresh to death, I'm
 loving those shell-toes
E7+                 C7+
Walking that walk, talk that slick 
talk
Am7                        F7+
Liking this American girl, American 
girl

Watch a flick at Hoyts and then hit 
          E7+

                   C7+             
Let's go on the subway, take me to

[Verse 3]
E7+
Who killin' 'em in the S.Y.D.?
C7+
Kid Solo on the M.I.C
Am7
But I'm stuck you see
'Cause most of these girls don't 
        F7+
fuck with me, but
E7+
I'ma tell you 'bout a little romance
C7+
Chillin' overseas up in Amsterdam
Am7
Sippin' on [?], spliff in hand
When this chick walks in and I'm 
just like, "Damn"
E7+
Who dat? How she look so good?
C7+
Wonder what she doin' in this 
neighbourhood
Am7
"Hey miss, come sit with me
Maybe give me a piece of your 
    F7+
history"
E7+
So she had a couple tokes and 
started relaxing
                 C7+
Now that's what I call a chain-smoke
 reaction
Am7
Said she like my accent
I like hers too so we quite the 
F7+    E7+
match then
                 C7+
So we get to chattin'
                        Am7
"What you do? Where ya been?
Where you're at?" and  we chat about
 love
She from Minneapolis so we chat 
F7+     E7+
about Slug
And it seemed like we talked for 
 C7+
days
Till our time ran out and we had to 
      Am7
part ways
American girl, it was nice to know 
ya
                       F7+    
Minnesota [?] in the middle of 
   E7+
Europa
                      C7+
Now she all up on my Facebook
Askin' me if she could stay so I 
     Am7
say, "Look
You're welcome anytime you wanna 
come kick it"
                                F7+
She on her way out for a visit, you
 E7+
