[B] [D] Well, she was [E] an American girl, [G]
raised [A] unpromising.
[D] She grew [E] up thinking that there [G] was a little more to life [A] somewhere.
After all, it [D] was a great big world.
[G] Well, that's the places [Em] to run to.
[A] Yeah, I knew she'd have to talk, try and see.
But that one little promise she was gonna keep.
[G]
Oh [A] yeah, [D] alright.
Take it easy [Bm] baby, make it last all [G] night.
She [A] was an [D] American girl.
Well, it was [E] time to go that night.
[G] She stood alone [A] on a path on a [D] hill.
Yeah, she could [E] hear the cars roll by, [Em] not on the [G] 441.
[A] Like waves crashing on the beach.
What [D] desperate moments, [G] be it just back [Em] in her memory.
[A] God is so thankful for something that's so close.
She's so sorry.
[G] Oh [A] yeah, [D] alright.
Take it easy [Bm] baby, make it last [G] all night.
