Intro: Am C G D (x2) 

verse 1 

              Am            C                         G 
Remember when America had a middle class and an upper class?  
                        D 
That was way before the exodus. 
             Am              C               Bm 
That was the America that we thought was number one,  
G                       D                   Am 
thought would overcome, thought would never die. 
                  Am                   C 
That was just our pride and faith: two shitty deadly sins;  
       G                             D 
I know faith isn't one of 'em but it should have been, 
                        Am                C          Bm 
'Cause when things were crumbling, we had no camaraderie,  
       G                   D               Am 
just a faith someone would save us from despondence. 

             Am       C    G   F 
We called it America, whoa. 
             Am       C     D 
We called it America, whoa. 


verse 2 

            Am             C 
"Number one America" was a slogan used  
        G                                D 
to keep morale up when we knew we were already cooked, 
                Am 
Then the richer western states  
C            Bm                G            D                Am 
succeeded in secession and the eastern ones followed right behind. 
         Am              C 
Mexi-Can-America was the perfect name  
     G                       D                           Am 
that epitomized the order of significance, authority and affluence. 
       C             Bm                G 
We had turned it all around, went from number one,  
D                  Am 
straight to number two (shit). 

             Am       C    G   F 
We called it America, whoa. 
             Am       C     D 
We called it America, whoa.

Bridge 

Am       G           F           Em 
National bankruptcy, circumcised society. 
Am   G 
USA, dined and ditched;  
F            Em 
Fox reports "poor is the new rich". 

             Am       C    G   F 
We called it America, whoa. 
             Am       C     D 
We called it America, whoa. 
             Am       C    G   F
