Your Best American Girl Chords

**Edit**
Revisiting this tab, I think a good way to play it would be to tune to drop D. For all verse chords, play them
as power chords/single notes
.
 
Tuning: DADGBE
 
D: --  A: --  G: --
   --     --     --
   --     --     --
   0      7      5
   0      7      5
   0      7      5
 
etc.
 
For chorus and bridge ideas, you can play normal open chords but adjust for the drop D

   If I could, I'd be your little spoon
    A        D           G        F#
And kiss your fingers forevermore
A             D          G             F#

    You're the sun, you've never seen the night
     A           D              G         F#
But you hear its song from the morning birds
A                      D         G           F#
      Well I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star

And you're an all-American boy
