Randy Newman

^D In A- ^Bm7 merica you'll get ^E7sus food to eat.
^A7 Won't have to run through the jungle,
And ^D scuff up your feet.
^D You'll just ^Bm7 sing about Jesus,
And drink ^E7sus wine all day;
^A7 It's great to be an American. ^D
D Ain't no ^Bm7 lions or tigers,
Ain't no ^E7sus mamba snake,
^A7 Just the sweet watermelon,
And the ^D buckwheat cake.
^Bm7 Everybody is as happy,
As a ^E7sus man can be,
^A7 Climb aboard little wog;
Sail a- ^D way with me.
Chorus 1:
Sail a- ^D way, ^Dsus
Sail a- ^G way, ^Gsus4
We will ^D cross the mighty ^Bm7 ocean,
Into Charleston ^E7 Bay. ^G/A
Sail a- ^D way, ^Dsus
Sail a- ^G way, ^Gsus4
We will ^D cross the ^Bm7 mighty ^E7 ocean,
Into ^G/A Charleston ^D Bay. ^{Bm7 E7sus}
Verse 2:
^D In A- ^Bm7 merica every ^E7sus man is free,
^A7 To take care of his home,
And his ^D family.
^D You'll be as ^Bm7 happy,
As a monkey in a ^E7sus monkey tree;
^A7 You're all gonna ^D be an American.
^D Be an American.
Chorus 2:
Sail a- ^D way, ^Dsus
Sail a- ^G way, ^Gsus4
We will ^D cross the mighty ^Bm7 ocean,
Into Charleston ^E7 Bay. ^G/A
Sail a- ^D way, ^Dsus
Sail a- ^G way, ^Gsus4
We will ^D cross the ^Bm7 mighty ^E7 ocean,
Into ^G/A Charleston ^D Bay. ^{Bm7 E7sus}
