The Henningsens, "American Beautiful"
I figured out most of the cords by ear; could use some tweaking by a more seasoned
player and would definitely be appreciated!
It's a great song, I hope you all enjoy playing it!

Standard tuning, Capo on 1st fret
you can figure the strum pattern while playing with the song; C cord can be played
with/without the middle finger. Sounds like
they play without the middle note during verses, then hold it down approaching the
chorus and at end of chorus. Play around
with it and decide which is easier for you or what sounds best.

She puts her boots and bandanna on
C G
She has a hankering for Rolling Stones
G F
She likes her vegetables home grown

A lot like the boy waiting out in the truck

Well, he is a mutt with a pedigree
C G
Sinatra junkie in a pair of jeans
G F
He pays his dues in the Land of the Free

Says, "Why walk baby, we were born to run"

He's American beautiful
G Am C G
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I saw that girl in a mirror once

With a boy like that in a cloud of dust
Em C
I think they look a lot like us

'Cause we are, we are, we are

Ooh, ooh, ooh
