Thanks and enjoy the tab
Made in America, Nineten fifteen nine
Born down by the factories, Cross the Jersey City line
Raised on radio, Just a jukebox kid
I was alright
Just a small town homeboy, With big time dreams
Foollowing his conscience, In a world full of extremes
Fresh outta high school, Only seventeen
I was alright
Riff 1
Blinded by my vision
Riff 2
There ws just no turning back
Lika a runaway train
Life was steaming down the track
You\'d say I\'d never make it out
Riff 2
But I kept on hanging on
Every night I prayed to Jesus, And held my head up strong
I was alright, I landed on my feet
Made in America, I was brought up on the street
My old man\'s independence, Seemed good enough for me
I was made in America
Made in America..
C G C G D x1 (As Intro)
Never cared much about politics, Til I was twenty one
But I woke up when Lennon, Found the wrong end of a gun
He left his inspiration, Before he said goodbye
And we were alright
Riff 1
We all lose our innocence
Riff 2
It\'s impossible to hold
I didn\'t know it then,
I had a pocket full of gold
When I kissed those younger days goodbye
Riff 2
It almost broke my heart
I was going through my growing pains, I was driving in the dark
But I was alright, I landed on my feet
Made in America, I was brought up on the street
I\'m facing up to freedom, And chasing down my dream
I was made in America
Yeah I was made in America
C G C G D x1 (As Intro)
SOLO (Chords C G C G D to begin with, then the regular G Em C D pattern - I don\'t
in transcribing solos really, so I\'m not going to, however, it\'s all in Em so feel free to
away.)
C G C G D x1 (As Intro)
Yeah we all lose our innocence
Riff 2
It\'s impossible to hold
I didn\'t know it then,
I had a pocket full of gold
When they said I\'d never make it
Riff 2
I just kept on hanging on
And every night I prayed to Jesus, And I held my head up strong
And I was alright, I landed on my feet
Made in America, I was brought up on the street
Facing up to who I am, chasing down my dream
I was made in America
Yeah I was made in America
Made in America..
C G C G D x3 (As Intro)
(After this there are some improvised vocals, the arpeggios at the very end are of D and
song is in Em so if you wish to work this last bit out for yourself, go ahead, they
part of the main song though and they aren\'t done live, which is why I\'m not tabbing them.)
