INTRO: E G A (4x) 


E 
Oh, I don't know, I don't know, oh where to begin 

       G     A 
We are North Americans 

E 
And for those of you who still think we're from England 

            G     A 
We're like, no 



E 
We've been on planes and on trains 

                                     G     A 
Till we think we might die, far from North America 

E 
Where the buildngs are old 

                                     G     A 
And you might have lots of mimes 



E 
I hate the feeling when you're loookin' at me that way 

            G     A  
'Case we're North Americans 

E 
But if we act all shy, it'll make it okay 

                    G     A 
It makes it go away 



E 
Oh, I don't know, oh, where to begin 

           G     A 
When we're North Americans 

E 
But in the end, make the same mistakes all over again 

         G     A 
Come on, North America 


E             G     A        E 
Ahh... We are North American scum 

E                 G     A 
Ahh... We're from North America

E 
And all the kids, all the kids who want to make the scene 

        G     A 
Here in North America 

E 
Well now your kids get to read it in your magizines 

                    G    A 
We don't have those 



E 
So where's the love, where's the love,  

                         G    A 
Where's the love tonight 

E 
But there's no love man,  

                                         G    A 
There's no love and the kids are uptight 



E 
So throw a party until the cops come in and bust it up 

         G     A 
Let's go North America 

E 
Oh, you were planning it I didn't mean to interrupt 

       G    A 
Sorry 



E 
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset 

               G     A 
Freaked out in North America 

E 
But then I said the more I do it, the better it gets 

           G     A 
Let's rock North America 

 
E             G     A        E 
Ahh... We are North American scum 

E                 G     A 
Ahh... We're from North America 

E             G     A        E 
Ahh... We are North American scum

Ahh... We're North American

E 
New York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent 

           G     A 
We're from North America 

E                                                  G    A 
It's the furthest you can live from the government 



E 
Some proud American Christians might disagree 

          G     A 
Here in North America 

E 
but New York's the only place 

                                    G    A 
We're keeping them off the street 



E 
Now we can't have parties like in Spain where they go all night 

             G     A 
Shut down in North America 

E                                                     G    A 
Oh, like Berlin where they go another night, alright 



E 
You see, I love this place that I've grown to know 

         G     A 
Alright, North America 

E 
And yeah, I know you wouldn't touch us with a ten foot pole 

             G     A 
'Cause we're North Americans 

 
E             G     A        E 
Ahh... We are North American scum 

E                 G     A 
Ahh... We're from North America 

E             G     A        E 
Ahh... We are North American scum 

E            G     A 
Ahh... We're North American 



E 
Take me back to the States man 

G     A        E 
North American scum 

E 
Well, we could be where we want to be in 

   G     A
