G D G In search of a good life the Pilgrims set sail C G Then all through the new land they blazed D their brave trails C G The iron horse speeding down freshly laid rails C D Em Brought settlers determined to prosper And from the far corners, they made it their homes The Ities and Germans, the Paddys, the Poles Goin' down in the dirt, comin' up with the gold Like Bill Fuller, the Kennedys and the Corleones Chorus: C G Life is so good in the US of A C G D Live out you dreams in Amerikay G C G D If you've gut the guts and the bucks, it is said G C D G Every man is a king in the US of A G Am D Em Every man is a king in Amerikay The pilgrims, these days they are called astronauts They seek new battlefields on the moon and beyond To wage their star wars in the sky by and by And to shit on us all from on high And when it's all over and the world is no more When the White House and Kremlin have settled their scores The stars and stripes flag will fly high up in space And that's why we all love the United States Chorus Vietnam, Nicaragua, El Salvador How foolish of you not to open your doors To the Hersheys, Budweisers, McDonalds and more This wonderful life could be yours Chorus In the land of Republican automatons Uncle Sam's forces, so gung-ho and bronzed Just waiting their orders from Washington To fight for your peace and your freedom Chorus: Oh, life is so good in the US of A You'll live out you dreams in Amerikay If you've got the guts and the bucks, it is said Every man is a king in the US of A Every man is a king in Amerikay | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  D  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
