Verse: D E7 Well she was an American girl. G A Raised on promises D E7 She couldn't help thinking that there was G A a little more to life somewhere else D After all it was a great big world G Em with lots of places to run to A And if she had to die tryin' she had one little promise she was gonna keep Chorus: G A D Bm G Oh yeah, allright, take it easy baby make it last all night A D She was an American girl Verse: D E7 Well it was kinda cold that night G A She stood alone on the balcony D E7 Yeh, she could hear the cars roll by, G A out on four-fortyone like waves crashing on the beach D And for one des'rate moment there G Em he crept back in her memory A God it's so painful when something that's so close is still so far to reach. Chorus: G A D Bm G Oh yeah, allright, take it easy baby make it last all night A D She was an American girl
What is the strumming pattern of this song?
I dont know if it did this for anyone else but when I clicked on this song it started out as +/-6 so it was in Gb when it is literally just in the key of C
I did this song with school and I played the ukulele in our band, we played with instead of a F chord a Csus4, and on the “make this place your home” I played “F C Dm A G C”, each one strum(: my band teacher figured this out by ear, and he’s pretty stinking awesome at this stuff(; thanks!!
Yeah I don’t think this is easy. And I don’t think these are the right chords
ethier
good song…
I like +2 personally.
OKAY I FIGURED IT OUT!! -5 and switch the Em and G chords around and BOOM it’s perfect!
What’s the picking pattern?
The ooooooohhhh part was confusing…
Just listen to Phillip’s recording youll get it pretty quickly
