America

G A D G

[Verse 1]
G      A          D
What a drag it is
                G
The shape I'm in
          A
Well I go out somewhere
     D              G
Then I come home again
           A
I light a cigarette
      D              G
Cause I can't get no sleep
                          A
There's nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
      D                 G
That means that much to me


[Hook] (strumming, 2 beats each chord)
(G)     A   D
All my life
           G     Em
Watching America
         A    D

                   G Gmaj7  Em
There's panic in America
      A     D
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
                     G Gmaj7  Em
There's trouble in America
      A     D
Oh Oh Oh, Oh


[Verse 2] (fingerpicking)
G      A
Yesterday was easy
 D                     G
Happiness came and went
           A
I got the movie script
      D                   G
But I don't know what it meant
           A
I light a cigarette
      D             G
Cause I can't get no sleep
                            A
There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio
      D                 G
That means that much to me
                           A
There's nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
     D             G
That I can believe in

[Verse 3] (fingerpicking)
G      A
Yesterday was easy
 D             G
Yes I got the news
          A                         D                 G
When you get it straight, but stand up you just can't lose
             A           D                G
Give you my confidence, all my faith in life

Don't stand me up
       A
Don't let me down
D                G
I need you tonight

(strumming slow cresc.)
    G   A    D             G
To hold me, say you'll be here
    G   A    D             G
To hold me, say you'll be here
    G   A    D             G
To hold me, say you'll be here
