Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
G
She got hair as gold as Kansas wheat
G
Her body moves like Bourbon street
F
In New Orleans, so wild and free
G
She's a California red sunset
G
Stars in her eyes, stripes on her dress
F
Every summer night feels like the fourth of July
[Chorus]
C
She's American
F
Making my world better than it's ever been
G
One part Norma Jean and one part Marilyn
F
She's making me fall in love with everything American
[Verse 2]
C
She's a small town smile, a little white church
C
"Born To Run" on a faded T-shirt
F
All I know is I'm at home when I'm with her
G
Yeah, I grew up singing Eagles songs
G
Sometimes I wonder what took so long
F
To feel enough to give the best of my love
G
She's New York pretty all dressed up
G
But a southern belle in the back of her truck
F
On an old dirt road, she's where I wanna go
[Chorus]
C
She's American
F
Making my world better than it's ever been
G
One part Norma Jean and one part Marilyn
F C
She's making me fall in love with everything American
F
American
C F
American, American
[Pre-Chorus]
C
She's a small town smile, a little white church
C
"Born To Run" on a faded T-shirt
F
All I know is I'm at home when I'm with her
[Chorus]
C
She's American
F
Making my world better than it's ever been
G
One part Norma Jean and one part Marilyn
F C
She's making me fall in love with everything American
[Outro]
C
She's a small town smile, a little white church
C
"Born To Run" on a faded T-shirt
F
All I know is I'm at home when I'm with her
C F
American, American
[Ending]
C F
She got hair as gold as Kansas wheat
Her body moves like Bourbon street
In New Orleans, so wild and free
She's a California red sunset
Stars in her eyes, stripes on her dress
Every summer night feels like the fourth of July
She's American
Making my world better than it's ever been
One part Norma Jean and one part Marilyn
She's making me fall in love with everything American
She's a small town smile, a little white church
'Born to run' on a faded t-shirt
All I know is I'm at home when I'm with her
Yeah, I grew up singing Eagles songs
Sometimes I wonder what took so long
To feel enough to give the best of my love
She's New York pretty all dressed up
But a southern bell in the back of her truck
On an old dirt road, she's where I wanna go
She's American
Making my world better than it's ever been
One part Norma Jean and one part Marilyn
She's making me fall in love with everything American
American
(American, American)
She's a small town smile, a little white church
'Born to run' on a faded t-shirt
All I know is I'm at home when I'm with her
She's American
Making my world better than it's ever been
One part Norma Jean and one part Marilyn
She's making me fall in love with everything American
She's a small town smile in a little white church
'Born to run' on a faded t-shirt
All I know is I'm at home when I'm with her
