It's basically the same rhythm throughout the whole song: Emaj7 Cmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7. You can try an F (2010) or Fmaj (2013) if the Fmaj7 is too difficult.
Emaj7
Just another one champion sound
Cmaj7
Me and Estelle about to get down
Am7
Who the hottest in the world right now.
Fmaj7
Just touched down in London town.
Emaj7

Cmaj7
Tell them put the money in my hand right now.
Am7

Fmaj7

Emaj7 Cmaj7

Emaj7
He said "Hey Sister.
It's really really nice to meet you."
Cmaj7 Am7
I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type.
Emaj7 Cmaj7
I like the way he's speaking his confidence is peaking.
Am7 Fmaj7
Don't like his baggy jeans but I'm a like what's underneath them.
Emaj7
And no I ain't been to MIA
Cmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7
I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits.
Emaj7

Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a café.
Let's go on the subway.
Take me to your hood.
I never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good.
Dress in all your fancy clothes.
Sneaker's looking Fresh to death, I'm loving those Shell Toes.
Walking that walk.
Talk that slick talk.
I'm liking this American Boy. American Boy.

Let them know a gwan blud
Who Killing em in the UK.
Everybody gonna to say you K, reluctantly, because most of this press don't f**k with me.
Estelle once said to me, "Cool down, down, don't act a fool now, now."
I always act a fool oww oww.
Ain't nothing new now now.
He crazy, I know what ya thinkin.
Ribena I know what you're drinking.
Rap singer. Chain Blinger.
Holla at the next chick soon as you're blinking.
What's you're persona.
About this Americana Brama.
am I shallow cause all my clothes designer.
Dressed smart like a London Bloke.
Before he speak his suit bespoke.
And you thought he was cute before.
Look at this peacoat, tell me he's broke.
And I know you're not into all that.
I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit.
But I still talk that CASH.
Cause a lot wags want to hear it.
And I'm feeling like Mike at his Baddest.
The Pips at they Gladys.
And I know they love it.
So to hell with all that rubbish
Would you be my love, my love.
Could be mine would you be my love my love, could be mine
Could you be my love, my love.
Would you be my American Boy. American Boy
