[Verse 1]
[D]America[G]n boy,
you're the pride and joy of America.
You're the hope of half the [C]world.
Americ[Em]an boy,
[Bm]you're the flaming sword of [Em]America.
When her [D]battle flag un[G]furled,
in the cradle of liberty,
This is how you [Eb]came to [C]be.[G]
[C]They took a bit of [G]the wit of the Irish
[C]and put [F]it on the tip of your tongue.
[C]They put the lov[G]e of the letter on mus[C]ic
and [F]they [D]poured it into your heart
to be sun[G]g.
They [C]made the song, Thankful [F]Santa,
so you could wave it.
And [D]when the world's in trouble,
you could help to [G]save it.
With [C]a bit [G]of a grin, of a [C]ridicule,
they bless you [F]with a courage
nothing [C]can destroy.
And when [A]they want blue,
they want [D]mighty proud of you.
[F]Just a plain Americ[G]an boy.
[C]They took a bit of the[G] wit of the Ir [C]ish,
and put it on [F]the tip of your [C]tongue.
They took the [F]love [G]of the Latin for mu[C]sic,
and they poured [D]it in your
heart to be [G]sung.
They made the [C]song single planner,
so [F]you could wave it.
And when [D]the world's in trouble,
you could have helped [G]to save it
From the [C]souls of [G]the Poles
and the Russians
[C]They blessed you
[F]with a courage
nothing can [C]destroy
And when they [A]were through
We were mighty [D]proud [Cm]of you
[D]Just a [F]plain Amer[G]ican [C]boy[F][C]
