[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [Am] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ _ [C] We pulled her down behind the [F] bridge, laid her [Dm] down, we [F] found you my last birthday, [C] my
[Dm] still too [G] young.
_ [C] Kissed her then and there, [F] she took a swing, took his [Am] baby, [F] took him in, took her [C] nowhere,
[Dm] never [G] gonna see the ticking in her [F] favor, boy.
_ _ [G] _
She was a young [C] American.
Young American, [Dm] young American, she was a [C] young American.
[F] Oh, _ _ [G] _
she was a young [C] American.
Shining light through the picture [Dm] windows, [Am] [F] spazzing, slinky, vagabond, with the cops
as if she's a bird [Dm] mustang.
Never [G] knows you're taking a [C] risk, but the freak in this town, more than [Dm] nothing, [Am] is
in [Dm] the stand that [Am] cuts his hand.
[F] _ Showing asses, moves like [G] a slouchy glass, where have all papa's heroes [F] gone now?
_ _ [C]
[G] Oh, now, she was a young [C] American.
Young American, [F] young American, she was a young American.
Oh, _ _ [G]
yeah, she was a young [C] American.
All the way here from Washington, [Dm]
rapping the bands off the bathroom [F] floor.
Live with us for twenty [C] years, do [Dm] it, have [G] to die for fifty [F] more.
_ _ _ [G]
Right, boy, she was a young [C] American.
Young American, [Dm] young American, she was a young [F] American.
Oh, _ _ [G] _
she was a young [Am] American.
_ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ [Am] [Em] Do you remember?
[C] _
[G] Rising on exit.
[Am] _ [Em] Do you remember?
[F]
Bills we had to pay, [E] or even yesterday.
_ [D] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [D]
Like a band of young [G] Americans, you and your idols singing for sale, leather, leather everywhere.
[A] Now, if we're gonna get [D] to it, well, well, would you carry your [Em] razor?
Just in case, in case of [G] depression, sit in your hands with a button [A] survivor.
Singing on the Afro, [D] she's even been that close to that.
[G] Ain't that boys for love?
It ain't no Barbie doll.
[A] I've been roping just like you [G] are.
_ _ _ [A] _ Now, she was a young [D] American.
Young American, [Em] young American, she was a young [G] American.
So, all night, [A] all right, she was a young [D] American.
You in the world, you in the heart.
[G] You ain't got a cash, you ain't got a cash.
Blacks got respect, whites got a soul.
[A] Money got cash, you don't get a [D] handshake.
I _ _ [G] got a suit, and you got the beat.
There's never a man who can sell more.
[A] There's never a woman that can suck on [D] the door.
There's never a child that can hold without [Em] judging.
There's never a man [D] that can love before [G] they die.
Ain't you proud that you shook our [A] faces?
_ _ _ [G] Ain't there one dance song that can make me break down and cry? _ _ _ _ _
Oh, _ [D] [A] she was a young [D] American.
Young American, [G] young American, she was a young American.
Oh, _ _ [A] she was a young [Bm] American. _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
