(If you want to be really picky, you can add an sus4 chord before the last chord
in each of the verses. See Verse 5 for an example. Only for the completest!)
Intro: A E A B A
Verse 1:
[E]I am [A]not A[E]merican,
Though I [A]live in North A[E]merica
Which is [A]part of [B]the A[E]mericas
Which should [A]make me an A[B]merican
Verse 2: (Same chords as Verse 1)
Geographically Canadians,
Are certainly Americans
As are Venezuelans,
But not Hawaiians
Chorus 1:
They're [A]out in the middle of the [E]Ocean
[A]Just like the [B]U.S. Virgin I[E]slands,
Who [A]really shouldn't say they are A[G#m]meri[C#m]cans,
[F#]Or even [B]virgins
Verse 3:
[E]How did [A]two whole [E]continents,
Lose their [A]name to one cons[E]tituent?
[A]Where were we when the [G#m]U.S. [C#m]went,
And [F#]took the word American a[B]way?
Verse 4: (Same as Verse 3 chords)
But to be fair to them,
Their other name options,
Like U.S.A.ers or United Statesians,
Were pretty bad
Chorus 2: (Same as Chorus 1)
Still I want to be as American,
As the French are European,
Or those in Antarctica are Antarctican
Even if they're just penguins
Verse 5: (Same as Verse 3)
That leaves us Canadians
As Northern North Americans,
But Alaska's Norther curse them
We're surrounded by Americans.[(C#sus)] America[C#]ns!
Verse 6:
I just [F#]called those U.S.[B]A.ers A[F#]mericans
A [B]name meant for two continents [F#]not just them
For [B]if I [C#]said I was A[Bbm]meri[Ebm]can,
[G#]People would probably think I came from [C#]Maine
Chorus 3:
[B]Still I[C#] think I h[F#]ave a plan,
[B]Let's b[C#]ecome Anta[F#]rctican,
[B]And join [C#]up with [Bbm]the pen[Ebm]guins
[G#]For just like [C#]them, we're [B]not A[C#]meri[F#]can![B] [F#]
