Wild American
           C                  G
You're the one they never tamed

'Cause you stood your ground
         C                       G
And they could not make you change
                         C                  G
You're the warning they still don't understand

Watch your back now
        C                G
They'll kill you if they can
C
When they burn your brother down
                     G
In the name of Freedom
C
I don't care if it's left or right
          G
It's wrong
C
If that's all they can do
                       G
Then you don't need 'em
           D                G
You're the one, wild American

I remember it was something that you said
                                    D                 A
Put your picture in the paper and a price upon your head
                         D                 A
You said brother, if you really give a #@$%#
                       D             A
Just remember were all sons of Abraham
D                           A
Sing a sadder song of freedom
D                         A
Slowly sinking with the sun
D                                     A
Waiting for a burning star to lead them
           E                A
You’re the one, wild American
D                           A
Sing a sadder song of freedom

Heroes happen when you need them
           E                A
You’re the one, wild American
