INTRO
F     A                  Dm          F7
  In America, you'll get food to eat

 Won't have to run through the jungle, and scuff up your feet
F             A                          Dm           F7
  You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day

 It's great to be an American 


VERSE 1
F           Dm7                       G7sus4
   Ain't no lions or tigers, ain't no mamba snake
Csus4                                F
   Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
F       Dm7                   G7sus4
   Everybody is as happy as a man can be
Csus4                             F
   Climb aboard little wog, sail away with me


CHORUS
      F    Fsus4 F         Bb    Bbsus4 Bb
Sail away,           sail away
        F                Dm7                   G7   C7
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
      F    Fsus4 F         Bb    Bbsus4 Bb
Sail away,           sail away
        F         Dm7    G7          C7        [ F ]
We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay
