Well, she [E] was an American [G] girl, [A] raised up in promises.
[D] She [E] couldn't help thinking that there [G] was a little more to life [A] somewhere else.
[D] It was a great big world [G] with lots of places [Em] to run to.
[A] Yes, if she had to die and she had one little promise she was gonna [G] keep.
[A]
[D] Take it easy [Bm] baby, make it last [G] all night.
She [A] was an [D] American girl.
Well, it was [E] kinda cold that night.
[G] She stood alone [A] on a farm.
[D] Yeah, she put [E] in the cars, rolled back [G] at 441.
[A] Like waves crashing down the bay.
One [D] desperate moment there, [G] we clipped back in [E] her memory.
[A] God, it's so painful, something that is so close, to stay up so far.
[G] Oh [A] yeah, [D] alright.
Take it [Bm] easy baby, make it last all [G] night.
She [A] was an American [D] girl.
