 AMan you got it C#mall worked out, don't you, Dold pair of shAoes

[Chorus]
 Singin'A, oh swC#meet sounds of AmDerican yAou

 AMama said steer clC#mear of the devil so you nDever played in the rAoad
 F#mAlways lookin' Eon the bright side, so you nDever see the pothAoles

 InvF#mite my nobody frEiends to the party and we'll bDe in it, fuck yAou
(same chords)
 You got a blue collar father who drinks Budweiser out the bottle
 20 Dollars, an old Impala, a baby's mama
 You work hard, you don't beg, you don't borrow
 Night at the factory, daytime job at McDonald's
[Chorus]
 AYour daddy told you that gC#mirl was nothin' but a problem
 BDut you fell in love 'cause to yAou she was like a supermodel
 F#mAnd they told you not to gEo get married but you wDent and did it anywAay, it ain't no problem
 You make sAomethin' out of nothin', you make mC#money for a livin'
 Pushin' buttDons, stickin' digits, flippin' bAurgers in the kitchen
 With the vF#mision, you've been dreamin', you've been sEavin', you've been given nothin' but shit
 But you tDake it 'cause you're pAatient in this prison
 Fuck everybAody visitin', it ain't thC#mem who gotta live in this skin
 With Dall these tattoos that you gAot, it fuckin' offends them
 If it's yF#mou that I'm speakin' to, you mEust be my extension
 I take my drDink up and sip it, take my hAat off and tip it, SlumericAan
[Bridge]
 Oh swC#meet sounds of AmDerican yAou
 F#mNever miss a SEunday service, never gDot tattAoos
 AEvery time we drC#mive by wavin', I sDee right thrAough
 TudutF#mudutEudu, fDuck you tAoo
 TudutF#mudutEudu, fDuck you tAoo
