----------------------------------------------------------------- I AM NOT AMERICAN - The Arrogant Worms ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by Sam Filgate (If you want to be really picky, you can add an sus4 chord before the last chord in each of the verses. See Verse 5 for an example. Only for the completest!) Intro: A E A B A Verse 1: E A E I am not American, A E Though I live in North America A B E Which is part of the Americas A B Which should make me an American Verse 2: (Same chords as Verse 1) Geographically Canadians, Are certainly Americans As are Venezuelans, But not Hawaiians Chorus 1: A E They're out in the middle of the Ocean A B E Just like the U.S. Virgin Islands, A G#m C#m Who really shouldn't say they are Americans, F# B Or even virgins Verse 3: E A E How did two whole continents, A E Lose their name to one constituent? A G#m C#m Where were we when the U.S. went, F# B And took the word American away? Verse 4: (Same as Verse 3 chords) But to be fair to them, Their other name options, Like U.S.A.ers or United Statesians, Were pretty bad Chorus 2: (Same as Chorus 1) Still I want to be as American, As the French are European, Or those in Antarctica are Antarctican Even if they're just penguins Verse 5: (Same as Verse 3) That leaves us Canadians As Northern North Americans, But Alaska's Norther curse them (C#sus) C# We're surrounded by Americans. Americans! Verse 6: F# B F# I just called those U.S.A.ers Americans B F# A name meant for two continents not just them B C# Bbm Ebm For if I said I was American, G# C# People would probably think I came from Maine Chorus 3: B C# F# Still I think I have a plan, B C# F# Let's become Antarctican, B C# Bbm Ebm And join up with the penguins G# C# B C# F# B F# For just like them, we're not American!
