Chord/Tab song: Beautiful America

(Dennis and S. Sandheim/Dennis and L. Bernstein)
Tabbed by: nastryker@juno.com
Corrected by: MrDrumond@hotmail.com

This is the corrected version. The ’s mean it’s the
chord an octave higher, so figure that out yourself.

(Are we starting from the beginning or what? Yeah.)

Intro:
B A D F# (x2) G D E A G A E (All x2)

Verse 1:
B A D F#
The man on the television said I need to drink this,
B A D F#
And sleep with that in order to be cool.
G D E A
And you know that I would do almost anything,
G A E
To be like that guy on TV.
G D E A
I know that if I had just the right outfit
G A E
And hairstyle that could be me.

Verse 2:
B A D F#
Don’t you know you can’t be cool if you dress dumb,
B A D F#
I need to have that ‘cause everybody’s got one.
G D E A
I think I’ll start smoking that would make me intellectual,
G A E
That’s what I’ve always wanted to be.
G D E A
I need to lift weights, that would make me more sexual,
G A E
And that would be so good for me.

Chorus:
[F]In America i[C]t’s wonderful[F], all you have[C] to do is fake it.
[G]Own any[D]thing you want, all you [G]have to do it [D]take it.
[F]Live for [C]today, don[F]217;t think ab[C]out tomorrow,
[G]Have a good [D]time in A[G]merica-Go[D]morrah.

Interlude/Intro Chords:

Verse 3:

What are you looking at, you better not make me mad.
[B]I’ll dri[A]ve by your[D] house and shoot you[F#]r dog, and mom, and dad.
G D E A G A E
I don’t you or the Bible or anything to tell me what is the law.
G D E A G A E
With a good enough lawyer I can do anything in Beautiful America.

(Chorus)
