[N] What?
[E]
Who are you?
Leaving when we leave
Music in [F] the rocks
[A] They wanna hear some American music
[E] American music
They [Em] wanna get outside
[B] Blackboard where you can [E] see
Where the country's lovely
You can be on me
For a place on [C] show
Now it's on the people
They [A] wanna hear some American music
[E] American music
[A] They wanna hear that [B] sound
That's what they [E] hear singing
Well it's a howl from the desert
A scream from the [A] slums
The beat is strong
They wanna hear some [Em] American music
[E] American [A] music
The heart of the whole world
It's a [B] howl from the [E] USA
[A]
[E] [B]
[E] Got a bluesy and a boogie
And a little Delta bluesy
Country swing and rock
[A] We got jazz, [E] country, western, and Chicago [B] blues
Greatest music that you ever knew
It's American music
[E] It's American music
It's American music
It's the greatest [B] sound
That the whole [E] thing can hear
Well there you is
Boy, you start writing it fast
And it gives a [Am] crazy beat
It doesn't come back
Because they're playing it [Em] again
[E] American music
[C#] The whole world digs [B] that sound
That you can [E] hear
[A]
[E] [F#]
