[Verse 1]
 D
Out on the road for forty days
 C                    F                 C
Last night in Little Rock, put me in a haze
 D
Sweet, sweet Connie was doin' her act
 C                 F                         C
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact
  G                            D
Up all night with Freddie King
  C                 D
I got to tell you, poker's his thing
  G                D
Booze and ladies, keep me right
  F                               G
As long as we can make it to the show tonight

[Chorus]
           D
We're an American band
           C
We're an American band
             Bb
We're comin' to your town
               C
We'll help you party it down
            D
We're an American band

[Verse 2]
      D
Four young chiquitas in Omaha
    C                    F               C
Waitin' for the band to return from the show
   D
A feelin' good, feelin' right and it's Saturday night
     C                       F        C
The hotel detective, he was outta sight
      G                 D
Now these fine ladies, they had a plan
      C                   D
They was out to meet the boys in the band
            G               D
They said, "Come on dudes, let's get it on!"
          F                    G
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down
