Intro D

D Well, she was an A-E7 merican girl
G Raised on A promises
D She couldn’t help E7 thinkin’ that there was a
G little more to life A somewhere else

After all it was a D great big world
G With lots of places to Em run to
A and if she had to die tryin’ she
had one little promise she was gonna keep

G Oh yeah, A all right, D take it easy, baby
Bm make it last (make it last all G night)
G She was A an American D girl

D Well, it was kinda E7 cold that night
G She stood alone on the A balcony
D Yeah, she could hear the E7 cars roll by
Out on G four forty one like A waves crashin’ on the beach

And for one desperate D moment there
G He crept back in her Em memory
A God it’s so painful when something that’s so close
is still so far out of reach

G Oh yeah, A all right, D take it easy, baby
Bm make it last (make it last all G night)
She was A an American D girl
