E C#m F#
Well she was an American girl
A B
Raised on proses
E F#
She couldnt help thinkin that there
A
Was a little more to life
B
Somewhere else
E
After all it was a great big world
A F#m
With lots of places to run to
B
and if she had to die
B
Tryin she had one little promise
B A
She was gonna keep
[Chorus]
B E
Oh yeah, all right
C#m
Take it easy baby
E
Make it last all night
B E
She was an American girl
[Verse 2]
E F#
It was kind of cold that night
A B
She stood alone on her balcony
E F#
She could the cars roll by
Am
Out on 441
B
Like waves crashin in the beach
D# E
And for one desperate moment there
A F#m
He crept back in her memory
B
God its so painful
Something thats so close
And still so far out of reach
[Chorus]
A B E
Oh yeah, all right
C#m
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
A B E
She was an American girl
[Instrumental]
A B E
