[Chorus]
D Born in the U.S.A. G D Born in the U.S.A. D Born in the U.S.A. G D Born in the U.S.A.
[Verse 2]
D Got in a little hometown jam G D So they put a rifle in my hands D Sent me off to a foreign land G D Said, "Son, go and kill the yellow man"
[Chorus]
D Born in the U.S.A. G D I was born in the U.S.A. D Born in the U.S.A. G D Born in the U.S.A.

D Come back home to the refineries G D Hirin' man said, "Son, if it was up to me" D I went down to see my V.A. man G D Said, "Son, don't you understand?"
