Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 (Original Key: )

Verse 1

In A-merica, you'll get food to eat.

Won't have to run through the jungle,

 And scuff up your feet.

You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day;

It's great to be an American.

Verse 2

Ain't no lions or tigers, ain't no mamba snake,

Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake.

Everybody is as happy as a man can be,

Climb aboard little wog, sail a-way with me.

Chorus 1

 Sail -way,

 Sail -way.

 We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.

 Sail -way,

 Sail -way,

 We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.

Verse 3

In A-merica, every man is free,

To take care of his home and his family.

You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree;

You're all gonna be an American.

Chorus 2

 Sail -way,

 Sail -way.

 We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.

 Sail -way,

 Sail -way,

 We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay.
