[C]Here is a story of three young people
[C]A girl and two boys, she's got American eyes, Am[F/G]erican eyes[C]
[C]They left school for fame and fortune
[C]But she was the one, the girl with the stars in her eyes[F]
[G]Stars and stripes in her eyes
[C]I was one of the boys, oh how I loved her
[C]But she wouldn't see me, She shut her apple pie eyes[F]
As b[G]lue as Jamaica skies[C]
[C]Oh unrequited love quite often grows, a[F]nd never quit[G]e goes
[C]Cho doh doh doh , Ohh Ohh[F] (Amer[G]ican eyes)
[C]He was one of the boys, he joined the army
[G]He sailed from American shores, [F]to fight the[G] foreigners' war[C]
[F]Baby shut your eyes up tight, I swear th[F]e world won't end tonigh[G]t
And when [F]we die our spirits f[G]ly, into th[F]e light above the s[G]ky
[C]Ohh ohh ohh ohh[F]
[G]American eyes[C]
