[G]
If you fly in from Birmingham you'll get the last gate
If you flew in from Boston, no you sure won't have to wait
And [C] I'm learning a little more [G] every day
[D] About the power of the dollar
And the people with white collars
And the good old [G] American way
I've noticed I don't get much help when they see my blue jean
Some slick where the suit walks up, oh can I help you please
[C] Yes I'm learning
Have I gained a [G] little aid
[D] About the power of the dollar
And the people with white collars
And the good old American [G] way

high society lady says, is your horse outside?
No ma'am he's between my legs but you're too fat to ride
[D] And you're learning a little more about [A] my ways
What [E] I think about your dollar
And your white collar
And your good old [A] American way
If you don't like my nudie boots I'm sorry about that
Don't make fun of my hat too
You might get knocked flat and [D] you'll learn some more
If you ever [A] pass down our way
How [E] about the folks without the dollars
And without white collars
Hell they are the [A] American way
