All American Chords & Lyrics - Alabama

[INTRO F]
There’s a st[F]rip mall round the corner, lease signs in every window.
And [Bb]fear in almost al[F]l my neighbors’[Gm] eyes.
There’s a d[F]isconnect between the politicians and the people
We kno[Bb]w half the ti[F]me they’re gonna lie.[Gm]
Aren’t w[Bb]e all on[Dm] the same side? [C]

There’s no u[Bb]s and there’s no them. We’re all out there on a limb.
There’s no K[Dm]ings and there’s no Queens
Just a p[C]ot of melted dreams
What makes u[Bb]s so quick to fight?
No one w[Am]ants to compromise
Some[Gm]times it’s all so ha[Am]rd to understand[Bb] .
Aren’t we[Dm] a[Bb]ll American?

[F]

We [F]can’t agree on nothing, even as our country
Is [Bb]hanging in the ba[F]lance by a thread.[Gm]
There’s [F]bonuses for bosses and bankers hiding losses
While our l[Bb]eaders close their ey[Am]es and turn their heads,[Gm]
Aren’t w[Bb]e all on[Dm] the same side? [C]

[F]What if my son’s class was closing down
my broth[C]ers house the bank sold out,
My f[Dm]ather’s farm we could not save.
My [Bb]mother lost her job today
My w[F]ife just said tuition’s more
An[C]other year we can’t afford
So our d[Bb]aughter’s dropping out of school
If this was me, what would I do?[Am]

[Bb]
There’s no u[Bb]s and there’s no them. We’re all out there on a limb.
There’s no Ki[Dm]ngs and there’s no Queens
Just a p[C]ot of melted dreams
[Am]What makes u[Bb]s so quick to fight?
No one w[Am]ants to compromise
Some[Gm]times it’s all so ha[Am]rd to understand[Bb] .
[F]Get [Gm]back to being neighb[F]ors, family, and fri[Bb]ends,
Aren’t w[Dm]e all[C] Ameri[Bb]can?
