[Intro]
C/G Csus Am
[Verse 1]
We were never C/Gfans of Dstock-car racesCsus  
CsusThough C/Gmesmerized Dby the roaring of those Amcars
AmOut in the Ddark the sound echoed off our Csusskin
As we took to C/Grooftop those Dengines on the C/GwindD  
[Chorus]
Where we C/Gsang the songs of our fathers
Shah-Dla-la, ooh-la-la-la
And Csusall the prayers of our mothers
Dutiful C/Gdaughters, dutiful Dsons
Shah-Amla-la goes the rattle and Emhum
From the Csushearth of a midwestern C/Ghome
Shah-la-Dla: that's the sound of immortal AmericansAm  C/G  
[Verse 2]
C/GWhen children turn the radio onD  
Fists hit the air praising rock and Csusroll gods
From the soil they are C/Gformed, born to grow Dcorn and cut stoneAm  
They trade off the Emverses and they Csussing twin in the C/Gchoruses
DBabes of the Bible Belt
Maybe low-hanging fruit in the forest
[Chorus]
But they C/Gsang the songs of our fathers
Shah-Dla-la, ooh-la-la-la
And Csusall the prayers of their mothers
Dutiful C/Gdaughters, dutiful Dsons
Shah-la-Amla goes the rattle and Emhum
From the Csushearth of a midwestern C/Ghome
Shah-la-Dla: that's the sound of immortal AmericansC/G  
[Verse 3]
CsusMy friends turned the Dradio off
CsusThose holy hymns were Dno longer ours
[Chorus]
Though we C/Gsang the songs of our fathers
N.C.
Shah-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
N.C
And all the prayers of our mothers
N.C.
Dutiful daughters, dutiful sons
Shah-la-Amla goes the rattle and Emhum
From the Csushearth of a midwestern C/Ghome
Shah-la-Dla: that's the sound of immortal AmericansC/G
