Rythym-
B
Born down in a dead
man's town
The first kick I
took was when I hit
the ground
E
End up like a dog
that's been beat too
much
Till you spend half
your life just
covering up
B
Born in the U.S.A.,
I was born in the
U.S.A.
E
B
I was born in the
U.S.A., born in the
U.S.A. now
B
Got in a little
hometown jam
So they put a rifle
in my hand
E
Sent me off to a
foreign land
To go and kill the
yellow man
B
Born in the U.S.A.,
I was born in the
U.S.A.
E
B
I was born in the
U.S.A., born in the
U.S.A. now
B
Come back home to
the refinery
Hiring man said Son
if it was up to
me
E
Went down to see my
V.A. man
| B |
B | B | B | E | E |
E | E |
He said Son, don't
you understand
B
I had a brother at
Khe Sahn
Fighting off the
Viet Cong
E
They're still there,
he's all gone
B
He had a woman he
loved in Saigon
|
E | E | E | E |
I got a picture of
him in her arms
now
B
Down in the shadow
of the
penitentiary
Out by the gas fires
of the refinery
E
I'm ten years
burning down the
road
Nowhere to run ain't
got nowhere to go
B
Born in the U.S.A.,
I was born in the
U.S.A.
E
B
Born in the U.S.A.,
I'm a long gone
Daddy in the U.S.A.
now
Born in the U.S.A.,
Born in the
U.S.A.
E
Born in the U.S.A.,
I'm a cool rocking
Daddy in the U.S.A.
now
