As an Internet neophyte, I haven't 
sent a file before, so
the only way I'm sure it works is 
with the "~r" command
in mail.  Here goes (I'd appreciate 
an "I exist, and got
the posting" response.  Thanks. --

Milwaukee... more than just beer and
 Jeffrey Dahmer. Herewith,
Femmes, with surf-twang solo:

Spoken: "Can -- can I put in 
somethin' like ... this is 'American
Music', take one.... 1, 2, 3, 4!"

C             F      G        C
Do you like American music?  I 
       F      G

C               F        G      C

Did you do too many drugs too, baby

         Am                    E
You were born too late, I was born 
too soon
F                         G
Every time I look at that ugly moon
                 C         F      
It reminds me of you, it reminds 
      C
me of you
G {or A-G-A-G-A-G on the G-string to
 follow the vocal}
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

I need a date to the prom, would you
 like to come along
Nobody will go to the prom with me, 
baby
They didn't like American music, 
they never heard American music
They didn't know the music was in my
 soul, baby

You were born too soon, I was born 
too late
But every time I look at that ugly 
lake, It reminds me of meeee
             F
(d'you like American music)         
  C
                     It reminds me 
of meeee
             F
(d'you like American music)         
  C
                     It reminds me 
of meeee
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

A cappella :
D'you like American music? (We like 
American music)
I like American music (Baaaabyyyyy)
D'you like American music (We like 
all kinds of music)
But I like American music best  
(Baaaabyyyy)

You were born too late, I was born 
too late
But every time I look at that ugly 
lake, it reminds me of me

It reminds me of meeee (I can hear 
the music)
It reminds me of meeee (sweet, sweet
 music)
{C-F repeats, getting more frenetic,
 and finish}
