[verse]
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Johnny's in America
No tricks at the wheel
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Nobody needs anyone
They don't even just pretend
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Johnny's in America
 
[CHORUS riff A]
I'm afraid of Americans     /
I'm afraid of the world    /repeat
I'm afraid I can't help it/
I'm afraid I can't       /
 
[verse riff starts here]
I'm afraid of Americans
Johnny's in America
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
 
Johnny wants a brain
Johnny wants to suck on a Coke
Johnny wants a woman
Johnny wants to think of a joke
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Johnny's in America
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
 
[CHORUS riff B]
I'm afraid of Americans     /
I'm afraid of the world    /repeat
I'm afraid I can't help it/
I'm afraid I can't       /
 
[verse riff starts here]
I'm afraid of Americans
 
 
Johnny's in America
Johnny looks up at the stars
Johnny combs his hair
And Johnny wants pussy in cars
Johnny's in America, uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Johnny's in America, uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
 
 
[CHORUS riff B]
I'm afraid of Americans     /
I'm afraid of the world    /repeat
I'm afraid I can't help it/
I'm afraid I can't       /
Yeah, I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the words
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
 
[Bridge]
I'm afraid of Americans
 
God is an american

God is an american
God is an american
God is an american
God is an american
God is an american
God is an american

Thx bro Great song Whole step down, drop C The low C gives you aug. chords I'd love to have heard Bowie play this solo acoustic .

Thanks for the tab. Rigtyre, please explain ( my music theory limited) how does whole step down drop c work, and how does it give augmented chords please? Ta.

So Guitar tuned whole step down ( not uncommon ) Then drop D ( C )
