Capo on 2nd fret Intro: Em Em/G A Asus2 (2x) Em Born down in a dead man's town A The first kick I took was when I hit the ground Em You end up like a dog that's been beat too much A 'Till you spend half your life just covering up Chorus Em Born in the U.S.A. A Asus2 Born in the U.S.A. Em Born in the U.S.A. A Asus2 Born in the U.S.A. Em I got in a little hometown jam A And so they put a rifle in my hand Em Son ya ever heard of Vietnam A Well go and kill the yellow man Chorus Em Born in the U.S.A. A Asus2 Born in the U.S.A. Em Born in the U.S.A. A Asus2 Born in the U.S.A. Em Come back home to the refineries A Hiring man says Em I go down to see the VA man A He says, "Son, don't you understand." Chorus Em Born in the U.S.A. A Asus2 Born in the U.S.A. Em Born in the U.S.A. A Asus2 Born in the U.S.A. Em I had a buddy at Khe Sahn A Fightin' off them Vietcong Em A They're still there, he's all gone Em He had a little girl in Saigon A I got a picture of him in her arms Em A Em A Hoo, Hoo, Hoo Em Down in the shadow of the penitentiary A Out by the gas fires of the refinery Em I'm ten years down the road A Nowhere to gun and nowhere to go Em Hoo A I'm a long gone daddy in the USA Em Born in the USA A I'm a cool rockin' daddy in the USA Em A Born in the USA Hoo Em A Em A (Repeat and Fade, with a lot of Hooing)
