Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
There's something in the water,
G 
D 
something sick in the blood and the oil
See the white chicken grinning,
G 
D 
see the serpent in a horrible coil
G 
Don't be scared by the stares of
the peasants on the subway car
D 
Because the way things seem in a dream
C 
G 
D 
is just the way that they are
A 
G 
And I can feel God taking his eyes off you,
E 
G 
D 
G 
D 
you were born for American soil, oh, yes

Verse 2
G 
D 
Every race has its place,
G 
D 
every na tion fights for species' survival
I'm a Jew through and through and
G 
D 
I'm about to write you a  Bible
G 
Now, let me take your hand and show you through
the twisted hallways of The House of Song
D 
We got the magazine wallpaper and
C 
G 
D 
a million dollar bills on the lawn
A 
D 
G 
Oh, and I can feel God taking his eyes off us,
D 
we were born for American soil

Verse 3

Ah- ah, ah- ah, ah- ah

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Verse 4
D 
You don't have to be clever to detect
G 
D 
a big American sadness
When the population rules,
G 
D 
every man has his hand in the madness
G 
Well, there's a dead grove of trees you
can visit on the outside of town
D 
And there's a digital dust inside
G 
D 
the cemetery settling down
A 
G 
Ooh, and I can feel God taking his eyes  off us,
E 
D 
G 
D 
we were born for American soil
G 
Ah- ah- ah- ah- ah- ah- ah
D 

Verse 5
G 
D 
Well, now we have seen every baby has to
G 
D 
have some kind of mother and father
G 
But the child's gone wild and the piece
D 
has got away from the author
G 
Well, if freedom isn't free,
all the bills must just be lost in the mail
D 
And the highways are on fire and the
G 
serpent is now eating its tail
D 
A 
G 
Oh, and we can feel God taking his eyes off us,
E 
G 
we were born for American soil
