  • Put a capo on fret 3 to stay in the same key

Verse:
Ab
Cigarettes and tiny liquor bottles, 
         Cm
Just what you’d expect inside her new Balenciaga.
Ab                 
Bad romance, turned dreams into an empire.
     Cm
Self-made success now she rose with Rockafellas.

Pre-Chorus:
   Bb                         Cm
Survival of the richest, the city’s ours until the fall.
        Bb                              Cm 
They're Monaco and Hampton’s bound but we don’t feel like outsiders at all.

Chorus:
Ab                    Cm
 We are the new Americana,
Bb                  Cm
 high on legal marijuana,
Ab                        Cm
 raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
Bb                    Cm
 we are the new Americana.

Verse:
Ab                      Cm
Young James Dean, some say he looks just like his father,
Ab             Cm 
but he could never love somebody’s daughter.
Ab                   Cm 
Football team loved more than just the game
      Ab               Cm
so he vowed to be his husband at the alter.

Pre-Chorus:
   Bb                         Cm
Survival of the richest, the city’s ours until the fall.
        Bb                              Cm 
They’re Monaco and Hampton’s bound but we don’t feel like outsiders at all.

Chorus:
Ab                    Cm
We are the new Americana,
Bb                  Cm
high on legal marijuana,
Ab                        Cm
raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
Bb                    Cm
we are the new Americana.

Bridge:
Ab                  Cm
We know very well who we are,
Bb                  Cm
so we hold it down when summer starts.
Ab                  Cm
What kind of dough have you been spending?
Bb                      Cm 
What kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?

Chorus:
Ab                    Cm
We are the new Americana,
Bb                  Cm
high on legal marijuana,
Ab                        Cm
raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
Bb                    Cm
we are the new Americana.
Ab                    Cm
We are the new Americana -we know very well-,
Bb                  Cm
high on legal marijuana -who we are-,
Ab                        Cm
raised on Biggie and Nirvana -so we hold it down-,
Bb                    Cm                Ab 
we are the new Americana.
