Verse 1:

D     Bm7                E7sus
 In A-merica, you'll get food to eat.
A7                                        D
 Won't have to run through the jungle and scuff up your feet.
D            Bm7                        E7sus
 You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day;
A7                            D
 It's great to be an American.

Verse 2:

D         Bm7                       E7sus
 Ain't no lions or tigers, ain't no mamba snake,
A7                                 D
 Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake.
D                   Bm7          E7sus
 Everybody is as happy as a man can be,
A7                               D
 Climb aboard little wog, sail a-way with me.

We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.

We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.

Verse 3:

D     Bm7           E7sus
 In A-merica, every man is free,
A7                                D
 To take care of his home and his family.
D             Bm7        E7sus
 You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree;
A7                D
 You're all gonna be an American.
