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