[Verse 1]
Am      G6         F          C
 Pouring down in a dead man's town
Am            G6          F          C
 First kick I took is when I hit the ground
Am             G6             F         C
 End up like a dog who's been beat too much
         Am               G6             F       C
 Till you spend half your life just to, cover it up and I'm

[Chorus]
Am G6       F  C
 Born in the USA, yes I'm
Am G6       F  C
 Born in the usa
Am G6       F  C
 Born in the usa, yes I'm
Am G6       F  C

[Verse 2]
Am          G6             F       C
 Well I got into a little hometown jam
Am             G6    F     C
 So they put a rifle in my hand
Am                G6       F
 And they sent me off to a pouring land

To go and kill the

Yellow man, and I'm

[Chorus]
Am G6       F  C
 Born in the USA, yes I'm
Am G6       F  C
 Born in the usa

[Verse 3]
Am                G6            F C
 Well I come back home to the refinery
    Am    G6                     F     C
 And the iron man says if it was up to me
Am          G6             F  C
 And I went down to see my VA man, and he said
Am        G6   F    C
 Son dont you, understand

[Verse 4]
Am             G6        F   C
 Well I had a brother at Khe Sanh
Am        G6      F   C
 Fighting off the Vietkong
Am                  G6        F       C
 Well they're still there but hes all gone
Am            G6         F        C
 And he had a woman they lived in Saigon
Am       G6             F      C
 I got a picture of him in her arms, and I'm

[Chorus]
Am G6       F  C
 Born in the USA, yes I'm
Am G6       F  C
 Born in the usa
Am G6       F  C
 Born in the usa, yes I'm

[Verse 5]
Am                G6             F     C
 Well down in the shadows of the penitentiary
            Am   G6          F     C
 Our father, gas fire of the refinery
          Am   G6            F        C
 Well I'm, ten years burning down the road
            Am          G6             F           C
 Ain't got, no where to run, ain't got, nowhere to go,
 
 and I'm

[Chorus]
Am G6       F  C
 Born in the USA, yes I'm
Am G6       F  C
 Born in the usa

 Long gone daddy in the USA
