***USA - written by Shane MacGowan
from the album "Peace And Love"
USA - As performed by The Pogues
GWhen I was young I watched the cars
When I was older I drank in bars
When I was Cyoung I chewed the Gleaves
When I was older I drank with thieves
GI found a love She gave me dreams
She left me drunk In New Orleans
So cold and Clonely So all aGlone
I wished my heart Was made of stone
I Ctook the cold bright Gneedle I Cused it as a Gsword
My Ceyes have seen the Gglory of The Dcoming of the GLord
I Cburned across the dGelta I Cswam across the fGord
My Ceyes have seen the Gglory of The Dcoming of the GLord
When I was a young man Standing on this road
My empty belly An aching hole
An old man said to me "Kid don't you know
That it's the same Wherever you go"
(not too sure about this part...)
GI gambled in two graveyards I won against the odds
With the saints And the saviours With the Dmaggots and the Ggods
GI cursed the things they showed me I could never see again
And the howling of the wind at night I Dwrote upon the Grain
GI found the thing For which I prayed
And came back home To the USA
With a heart of Cstone And now I Gknow
That it's the same Wherever you go

***USA - written by Shane MacGowan

from the album "Peace And Love"

USA - As performed by The Pogues

When I was young I watched the cars

When I was older I drank in bars

C G

When I was young I chewed the leaves

When I was older I drank with thieves

I found a love She gave me dreams

She left me drunk In New Orleans

C G

So cold and lonely So all alone

I wished my heart Was made of stone

C G C G

I took the cold bright needle I used it as a sword

C G D G

My eyes have seen the glory of The coming of the Lord

C G C G

I burned across the delta I swam across the ford

C G D G

My eyes have seen the glory of The coming of the Lord

When I was a young man Standing on this road

My empty belly An aching hole

An old man said to me "Kid don't you know

That it's the same Wherever you go"

(not too sure about this part...)

I gambled in two graveyards I won against the odds

D G

With the saints And the saviours With the maggots and the gods

I cursed the things they showed me I could never see again

D G

And the howling of the wind at night I wrote upon the rain

I found the thing For which I prayed

And came back home To the USA

C G

With a heart of stone And now I know

That it's the same Wherever you go
