Dm G Am
F  G Am
 
[Verse 1]
Am
Born down in a dead man's town
Dm
First kick I took was when I hit the ground
Am
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
         Dm
Then you spend half your life just covering up
 
[Chorus]
Am                   Dm
Born in the U.S.A.,  Born in the U.S.A.
Am                  Dm
Born in the U.S.A.
 
[Verse 2]
Am
Got in a little hometown jam
Dm
So they put a rifle in my hand
Am
Sent me off to a foreign land
Dm
To go and kill the yellow man
 
[Chorus]
      Am                  Dm
I was born in the U.S.A., Born in the U.S.A.

Born in the U.S.A.

Am
Come back home to the refinery
       Dm
Hiring man said "Son if it was up to me"
Am
I went down to see my V.A. man
         Dm
He said "Son, don't you understand"
 
[Verse 4]
Am
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Dm
Fighting off the Viet Cong
Am
They're still there, he's all gone
Dm  Am
Am
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
Dm
I got a picture of him in her arms now
 
[Interlude]

Am
Shadow of the peni tentiary

Out by the gas fires of the refinery

Ten years burning down the road
Dm
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go

Am                  Dm
Born in the U.S.A., Born in the U.S.A.
Am                  Dm
Born in the U.S.A.
Am                  Dm
Born in the U.S.A., Born in the U.S.A.
Am                 Dm
Born in the U.S.A.
