Won't have to run through the jungle,

You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day;
A7 D
It's great to be an American.
Verse 2:
D Bm7 E7sus
Ain't no lions or tigers, ain't no mamba snake,

Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake.

Climb aboard little wog, sail a-way with me.

You're all gonna be an American.

I'm wondering what the five stars are for. Playing this, it just doesn't sound right. After getting back to the original song, I'd suggest a lot of changes which, all in all, almost deserve a new tab, I think:
- The intro (which is mistakenly interpreted as another verse here) is totally off and nothing like Newman's recording at all. I'm not sure about all the chords, but this is at least close:
| D | F# | Bm | D7 |
| G | A6 A7 | G/D D/F# | A/E (?) G/D |
The rest of the tab is much better, but still far from being accurate:
- The A7 chords in the verses are all suspended. They don't sound right with the major third.
- There's no G/A in the chorus, that one's actually A7.
- The last chord (Asus4) in the outro as well as in the link between chorus and verse is missing.
