American Girl Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
D E7 G A (jangle on D)
[D]Well she was an A[E7]merican girl.
[G]Raised on [A]promises
[D]She couldn't help [E7]thinking 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
CHORUS
[G]Oh yeah, [A]all right,
[D]take it easy baby[Bm] make it last all n[G]ight
A D (jangle on D)
She was an American 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 crashing 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.
CHORUS
G G G G G# A A D 4x
(jangle)
D E7 G A jam till end
