Roger Mcguinn

(VERSE 1)
^D Well she was an A ^E7 merican girl ^G raised on ^A promises
^D She couldn't help ^E7 thinking that there was
A ^G little more to life ^A somewhere else
After all it was a ^D great big world ^G with lots of places to ^Em run to
^A Yeah and if she had to die, trying she, had one little promise she was gonna keep
(CHORUS)
^G Oh yea ^A alright ^D take it easy baby ^Bm make it last all night
^G She was ^A an American ^D girl
(VERSE 2)
^D Well it was kind ^E7 cold that night she ^G stood alone on the ^A balcony
^D Yea she could hear the cars ^E7 roll by
^G Out on 441 like waves ^A crashing on the beach
And for one desperate ^D moment there, ^G he crept back in her ^Em memory
^A God it's so painful, something that's so close, is still so hard to reach
(CHORUS)
^G Oh yea ^A alright ^D take it easy baby ^Bm make it last all night
^G She was ^A an American ^D girl
