As recorded by Dierks Bentley (2024 release) [Intro] G A G D [Verse 1]
G                 A            C
Well, she was an American girl

          D
Raised on promises

G                 A
She couldn't help thinkin' that there

      C                   D
Was a little more to life somewhere else

                   G
After all it was a great big world

C                      A
With lots of places to run to

D
And if she had to die tryin' she

                                        C
Had one little promise she was gonna keep
[Chorus]
       D
O yeah, all right

G
Take it easy, baby

Em                C
 Make it last all night

              D           G
Yeah, she was an American girl
[Verse 2]
G                    A
Well, it was kind of cold that night

   C                      D
As she stood alone on her balcony

G                        A
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by

       C        D
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach

                      G
And for one desperate moment there

C                    A
He crept back in her memory

D
God, it's so painful when something that's so close

                           C
Is still so far out of reach
[Chorus]
       D
O yeah, all right

G
Take it easy, baby

Em                C
 Make it last all night

              D           G
Yeah, she was an American girl
[Instrumental Break] C D G C D G C D G C D G A C D G [Chorus]
       A        C
O yeah, all right

                 D
Take it easy, baby

                 G
Make it last all night

              A           C
Yeah, she was an American girl

D            G
 An American girl
