Young Americans accordi

Do, Rem, Fa, Sol (4x)

Do
They pulled in just behind the bridge
       Rem
He lays her down-he frowns
Fa
"Gee my life's a funny thing
     Sol
Am I still too young"
Do
He kissed her then and there
             Rem
She took his ring, took his babies
    Fa
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Sol
Heaven knows she'dve taken anything

Fa    Sol
All night-she want s the young American
Do                Rem
Young American, young American

she wants the young American
      Fa  Sol
It's all right-but she wants the young American

Do
Scanning life thru the picture window
Rem
She finds the slinky vagabond
Fa
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
Sol
Heaven forbid she'll take anything
Do
But the freak and his type-all for nothing
Rem
Misses a step and cuts his hand
Fa
Showing nothing he swoops like a song
Sol
She cries "where have all papa's heroes gone?"

Fa    Sol
All night-she want s the young American
Do                Rem
Young American, young American

she wants the young American
      Fa  Sol
It's all right-but she wants the young American

Do
All the way from Washington
Rem
He breadwinner begs of the bathroom floor
Fa
"Live for just these twenty years
Sol
Do we have to die for the fifty more?"

Fa    Sol
All night-she want s the young American
Do               Rem
Young American, young American

It's all right - but she wants the young American

He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
Heaven forbid she'll taken anything
But the freak and his type - all for nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand
Showing nothing he swoops like a song
She cries where have all papa's heroes gone

All night - she wants the young American
It's all right - but she wants the young American

All the way from Washington
Her breadwinner begs of the bathroom floor
We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for fifty more

All night - she wants the young American
It's all right - but she wants the young American

Do you remember president Nixon
Do you remember all the bills you have to pay
or even yesterday
