First tab, so if things are a little off I apologize in advance. Sounds pretty close to

in my opinion though.
"American Kids"
Kenny Chesney
[Intro]
Em , G , C , D X2
[Verse 1]
Em G C D Em G C D
Double wide, quick stop, midnight, T-top, Jack in her Cherry Coke town
Em G C D Em G C D
Momma and daddy put their roots right here 'cause this is where the car broke down
Em G C D Em G C D
Yellow dawn, school bus kickin' up red dust, picking us up by a barbed wire fence
Em-G C-D Em-G C D
MTV on the RCA, no A/C in the Vents
[Chorus]
G D Em C
We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby, born in the USA
G D Em C
Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots, New York to LA
G D Em C
We were teenage dreamin', front seat leanin', baby come give me a kiss
G D Em C
Put me on the cover of the Rollin' Stone uptown down on American kids
Em C
Growin' up in little pink houses
Em C
Makin' out on living room couches
Em C
Blowin' that smoke on Saturday night
Em G
A little messed up but we're all alright
[Verse 2]
Em G C D Em G C D
Baptist church parking lot, trying not to get caught, take her home and give her your jacket
Em G C D Em G C D
Making it to second base but sayin' you went all the way Monday afternoon at practice
Em G C D Em G C D
Sister's got a boyfriend daddy doesn't like
Em G C D Em G C D
Now he's sitting out back, 30-30 in his lap in the blue bug zapper light
[Chorus]
G D Em C
We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby, born in the USA
G D Em C
Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots, New York to LA
G D Em C
We were teenage dreamin', front seat leanin', baby come give me a kiss
G D Em C
Put me on the cover of the Rollin' Stone uptown down on American kids
Em C
Growin' up in little pink houses
Em C
Makin' out on living room couches
Em C
Blowin' that smoke on Saturday night
Em G
A little messed up but we're all alright
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
G D Em C
We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby, born in the USA
G D Em C
Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots, New York to LA
G D Em C
We were teenage dreamin', front seat leanin', baby come give me a kiss
G D Em C
Put me on the cover of the Rollin' Stone uptown down on American kids
Em C
Growin' up in little pink houses
Em C
Makin' out on living room couches
Em C
Blowin' that smoke on Saturday night
Em G
A little messed up but we're all alright
