Intro: E, E6

(n.c.) E (n.c.) E (n.c.)
Well a US soldier boy on leave in West Berlin
E (n.c.) E (n.c.)
No music there that rocks, just a thousand violins
(n.c.) A7 E
He wants to hear some American Music, American Music.
E B7 A7 E
They want to hear that sound right from the USA

Well it can be sweet and lovely, it can be hard and mean
But one thing`s for sure: it`s always on the beam
They want to hear some American Music, American Music
They want to hear that sound right from the USA

It`s a howl from the desert, the screams from the slums
The Mississippi rollin` to the beat of the drums
Because they`re playing American Music, American Music
They want to hear that sound right from the USA

(bridge)
E A7 E
We got the Louisiana boogie and the Delta Blues
A7 E
Country swing and rockabilly, too
E A7 E
We got jazz, country-western and Chicago blues
E B7
It`s the greatest music that you ever knew
A7 E A7 E A7 E
Well it`s American Music, it`s American Music It`s American Music
E B7 A7 E
It`s the greatest sound right from the USA

Well a US soldier boy has to stop right in his tracks
When he hears that crazy beat, he turns and doubles back
Because they`re playing American Music, American Music
The whole world digs that sound from the USA
