[verse i]


F                Am          Bb                C
All along the avenues the soldiers make their way

F                Am          Bb                C
While lovers reap the revenue of a cold September day

Dm                A          Bb                F
Kiss me darling kiss me like we'll never kiss again

Dm                Am                          Bbm         F
And love me won't you love me like it's our greatest revenge



F                Am          Bb                C



F                  Am               Bb                 F
No one knows how much it means the funded wars write magazines

F                  Am               Bb                 F
Battle fronts and beauty queens making love in the headlines

F                    A              Bb                    F
I feel for all the progeny how will they know what freedom means

F                    A              Bb                    F
When it's forged to every cause and claim on the fear assembly lines





[chorus]


Dm         Bb       F
Oh the American machine

Dm         Bb       F
Oh the American machine




[verse ii]


F                  Am               Bb                 F
What happened to our chivalry now pork is fed to the fattest beast

F                  Am               Bb            F
And the women and the babies are starving on the ship

F                    A              Bb                    F
And the waters comin' in so fast it's hard to know how long it will last

F                    A                       Bb                 F
When you take in  all that you give back or you'll drown under the debt




[chorus]


Dm         Bb       F
Oh the American greed

Dm         Bb       F          Dm
Oh the American greed it's not me

           Bbm
I'm gonna give what I can






F      A               Bb                Bbm
Come, come feed the promise that's inside of me

F            A         Bb                  Bbm
With a little love, we'll raise a brand new army up

F            A         Bb                  Bbm
Of the surest doves with hearts that gleam like golden guns with

F        A        Bb          Bbm
Nothing in their arsenal but love



            F                Dm           Bb     F
I'd give it all I'd give it all for a legacy of love
