A5 C5 F5 G5 A5 C5 F5 G5 [Verse 1]
A5                    C5
 I don't need to be a global citizen

F5                           G5
 Because I'm blessed by nationality

A5                 C5
 I'm a member of a growing populace

F5                   G5
 We enforced our popularity

A5                             C5
 There are things that seem to pull us under and

F5                     G5
 There are things that drag us down

A5                         C5
 But there's a power and a vital presence

F5                  E5
 That's lurking all around
[Chorus]
A5 C5    F5      G5       A5
   We've got the American jesus

C5       F5     G5   A5
 See him on the interstate

C5      D5      F5       A5
  We've got the American jesus

           G5             F5
 He helped build the president's estate
A5 C5 F5 G5 A5 C5 F5 G5 [Verse 2]
A5                    C5
 I feel sorry for the earth's population

F5                   G5
 'cuz so few live in the usa

A5                                C5
 At least the foreigners can copy our morality

F5                  G5
 They can visit but they cannot stay

A5                 C5
 Only precious few can garner our prosperity

F5                     G5
 It makes us walk with renewed confidence

A5                 C5
 We've got a place to go when we die

F5                          E5
 And the architect resides right here
[Chorus]
A5 C5    F5      G5       A5
   We've got the American jesus

C5          F5   G5  A5
 Bolstering national faith

C5     D5      F5       A5
 We've got the American jesus

     G5                F5        E5
 Overwhelming millions every day
[Bridge] A5 C5 F5 G5 A5 C5 F5 G5
A5                       C5                        F5
He's the farmer's barren fields the force the army wields

                      G                     A5     
The expression in the faces of the starving millions

                 C5                                F5
The power of the man he's the fuel that drives the clan

                        G5                     A5
He's the motive and the conscience of the murderer

                      C5               F5
He's the preacher on tv the false sincerity

                       G5                    A5
The form letter that's written by the big computers

            C5                     F5
The nuclear bombs the kids with no moms

                       G5                   A5
And I'm fearful that he's inside me
[Outro]
A5 C5    F5      G5       A5
   We've got the American jesus

C5       F5     G5   A5
 See him on the interstate

C5      D5      F5       A5
  We've got the American jesus

C5   F5         G5     A5
 Exercising his authority

A5 C5    F5      G5       A5
   We've got the American jesus

C5          F5   G5  A5
 Bolstering national faith

C5     D5      F5       A5
 We've got the American jesus

     G5                F5        E5
 Overwhelming millions every day
A5 C5 F5 G5 A5 C5 F5 G5
A5  C5           F5
