Verse 1
(D major) I was raised on a Jesus, who was (E minor) white and prestigious,
said he never would leave our little (B minor) country (D major) behind
Said the pledge of allegiance, (E minor) said I’d never smoke weed,
and that my bible I’d read it (D major) when I couldn’t decide
But the sermons were telling me, (E minor) Hell was a felony,
and Heaven’s the guilty plea that keep (D major) s me alive
So my friend went and shot himself, the (E minor) Jesus he asked for help,
was probably somewhere else said, "Son (D major) get in line"

Verse 2

The Amer (E minor) ican spirit?
I don’t wanna (G major) go near it

Verse 4
(D major)
I was born in a city, built on (E minor) homes of the Cherokee,
and named after (G major) (D major) Muskogean words to describe
We hijack the narrative, (E minor) say that it’s heritage,
tell them how good it (D major) is that history’s White
Leave out the stolen land, (E minor) re place it with Dixieland,
and (G major) everyone claps their hands and (D major) sings its delight
You can face it or just forget, I (E minor) ask for a cigarette,
you (G major) hand me the silhouette smoking (D major) a pipe
(A major) (G major) (D major)

The Amer (E minor) ican spirit
Oh but something (G major) will smear it

(G major) you’re bleeding American for something (D major) it’s not
(G major)
