American Mellencamp Chords by Tyler Hubbard

[Intro]

C#m   A  E  
C#m   A  E 
 
 
[Verse]

     C#m           
I remember hearin', 
  A           E
"Little Pink Houses"
        C#m      A         E
On the radio in my first truck
         C#m             A   
Ridin' two lanes of freedom, 
E
ain't that a feelin'?
 C#m         A         E
Sixteen and turnin' it up
         C#m                  
Passin' tattered, "Old Glory" 
A      E
on a front porch
      C#m                    A   E
That song hit me different that day
        C#m             A
It was four and a half minutes
E                    C#m    A    E
All about livin' in nowhere US---A
 
 
[Chorus]
            C#m       A          
Where it's work week money buyin' 
 E
good, cold beer
     C#m    A     
And NASCAR runnin' 
    E
on four Goodyears   
 C#m        A         E
Tailgate datin' at the Dairy Queen
     C#m          A     
That American Mellencamp, 
  E
small-town dream
  C#m         A    
Friday night lights       
          E
from the very top row
     C#m         A     
And fixer-ups racin' down 
   E
an old back road
C#m              A     
All out chasin' down the 
 E
same dang thing
     C#m          A      
That American Mellencamp, 
  E
small-town dream
 
 
[Instrumental]

C#m   A  E

[Verse]

                    
Oh, yeah, I'm talkin' 
           C#m
'bout a quarterback
 A              E
Fallin' for a prom queen
              C#m   
Parkin' in a field 
            A      E
till the sun comes up
                      C#m
I'm talkin' 'bout a sweet tea
 A           E
Sunday afternoon out at Mama's house
 C#m               A        E
Can't forget where I came from 

(Where I came from)
 
 
[Chorus]
            C#m       A           
Where it's work week money buyin' 
 E
good, cold beer
     C#m    A      
And NASCAR runnin' 
    E
on four Goodyears  
 C#m        A         E
Tailgate datin' at the Dairy Queen
     C#m          A     
That American Mellencamp, 
  E
small-town dream
  C#m         A    
Friday night lights 
          E
from the very top row
     C#m         A    
And fixer-ups racin' 
        E

C#m              A     
All out chasin' down the 
 E

     C#m          A      
That American Mellencamp, 
  E
