[Verse 1]
A G
Well, my shoes, they come from Singapore
A
My flashlight's from Taiwan
A G
My tablecloth's from Malaysia
A
My belt buckle's from the Amazon
A G
You know, this shirt I wear comes from the Philippines
A
And the car I drive is a Chevrolet
A G
It was put together down in Argentina
G A
By a guy makin' thirty cents a day
[Chorus]
D A
Well, it's sundown on the union
D A
And what's made in the U.S.A
D A
Sure was a good idea

[Verse 2]
A G
Well, this silk dress is from Hong Kong
A
And the pearls are from Japan
A G
Well, the dog collar's from India
A
And the flower pot's from Pakistan
A G
All the furniture, it says "Made in Brazil"
A
Where a woman, she slaved for sure
A G
Bringin' home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve
A
You know, that's a lot of money to her
[Chorus]
D A
Well, it's sundown on the union
D A
And what's made in the U.S.A
D A
Sure was a good idea

'Til greed got in the way
[Verse 3]
A G
Well, you know, lots of people complainin' that there is no work
A
I say, "Why you say that for
A G
When nothin' you got is U.S.-made?"
A
They don't make nothin' here no more
A G
You know, capitalism is above the law
A
It say, "It don't count 'less it sells."
A G
When it costs too much to build it at home
A
You just build it cheaper someplace else
[Chorus]
D A
Well, it's sundown on the union
D A
And what's made in the U.S.A
D A
Sure was a good idea

'Til greed got in the way
[Verse 4]
A G
Well, the job that you used to have
A
They gave it to somebody down in El Salvador
A G
The unions are big business, friend
A
And they're goin' out like a dinosaur
A G
They used to grow food in Kansas
A
Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw
A G
I can see the day coming when even your home garden
A
Is gonna be against the law
[Chorus]
D A
Well, it's sundown on the union
D A
And what's made in the U.S.A
D A
Sure was a good idea

[Verse 5]
A G
Democracy don't rule the world
A
You'd better get that in your head
A G
This world is ruled by violence
A
But I guess that's better left unsaid
A G
From Broadway to the Milky Way
A
That's a lot of territory indeed
A G
And a man's gonna do what he has to do
A
When he's got a hungry mouth to feed
[Chorus]
D A
Well, it's sundown on the union
D A
And what's made in the U.S.A
D A
Sure was a good idea
D E A
