G F Em D
[Verse 1]
G F
Well, God made man from a piece of clay and told him 'til his dyin' day:
Em D G
Said, "You're the boss, I don't want no one above you"
G F
He gave him responsibilities, said, "You only answer unto me"
Em D G
"If you do these things, I'll make someone to love you"
G F
He took a piece of Adam's rib, never gave a thought about women's lib
Em D
And he made the masterpiece of his creation
G F
Now, just between you and me, do you honestly believe,
Em D G
He wanted you to take my place in this nation?
[Chorus]
C G D G
American woman, why can't you agree?
C G F C G
God made man for Himself, but he made you for me
C G D G
American woman, why can't you understand?
C G F C G
That all you got to do is love your all-American man
[Verse 2]
G F
Well, I've tried my best to understand why you wanna replace man
Em D G
And give up all the luxuries we give you
G F
We work our fingers to the bone and all we want is you at home
C D G
And you're gonna go too far to forgive you
G F
Now I guess you won't be satisfied 'til you're working nine-to-five
C D G
So you can say you're bringing home the bacon
G
Well, of all the tragic things in life
F
There's a woman who don't wanna be a wife
C D G
Missin' all the love we could be makin'
[Chorus]
C G D G
American woman, why can't you agree?
C G F C G
God made man for Himself, but he made you for me
C G D G
American woman, why can't you understand?
C G F C G
That all you got to do is love your all-American man
[Outro]
G F
