American

E                                        B
In the garden, sunlight painted skin
E                                        B  (Fill 1)
Country back roads never see again
E                                    F#
West coast sunset, Blue jeans broken in
Chorus
E      B  E                  B
American, I've been away for way too long
E      B  E               B
American, I only miss you when I'm gone.
E                                     B   (Fill 2)
Halfway home and still I can't forget
E                              F#
Melodies were ringing in our head
Chorus
E      B  E                  B
American, I've been away for way too long
E      B  E               B
American, I only miss you when I'm gone.
F#           G#m          A      E
And I'm not saying I'd never roam
F#            G#m                   A    E
But if I ever leave again I'll come home.
Solo

Played over slow part (not quite sure about the rhythm picking in the
background)

Carry you with me in a song
All your mystery keeps me hanging on X2

E      B E         B
American I've been away for way too long
E      B E          B
American, I only miss you when I'm gone
E      B  E         B
I'm not saying I'd never roam
But if I ever leave again I'd go home
This is pretty rough.  Please help me fill in the that second solo and
the background picking.  I have an idea for the background picking but
not quite sure.
