hey guys, this is just a way to play one of the greatest songs of all time on your own.
Intro: x3
(ad lib on the for the build up)
I don't need to be a global citizen
Cause I'm blessed by nationality
I'm a member of a growing populace
We enforce our popularity
There are things that seem to pull us under and
There are things that drag us down
But there's a power and a vital presence
*
that's lurking all around
(here the tempo speeds up, listen to the song to get it)
We've Got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
We've Got the American Jesus
*
He helped build the president's esta---a---ate
I feel sorry for the earth's population
Cause so few live in the USA
At least the foreigners can copy our morality
They can Visit but they cannot stay
Only precious few can garner the prosperity
That makes us walk with renewed confidence
We got a place to go when we die
*
And the architect resides right here
We've Got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
We've Got the American Jesus
*
Overwhelming millions every da----a---ay
(they palm mute although solo acoustic i prefer to do reggae upstrokes)
He's the farmer's barren fields
The force the army weilds
The expressions on the faces of the starving children
The power of the man
The fuel that drives the clan
The motive and the conscience of the murderer
The preacher on TV
The false sincerity
The form letter that's written by the big computer
The nuclear bomb
The kids with no mom
*
And I'm fearful that he's inside me
We've Got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
We've Got the American Jesus
*
Overwhelming millions every da----a---ay
(this next part is the backing vocals sung during the bridge - farmer's barren fields
- but i change it up because it is solo acoustic. i use the same chords as the bridge
the following lyrics)
In God
We Trust
Cause he is one of us
Break down
Cave in
He will redeem your sin
Good heart
Clear mind
And infinately kind
You lose
We win E*
He is our champion
chorus again (or twice if you want) and you're done.
peace.
