standard tuning
For Cadd9 & G play
like a regular Cadd9 & G
But put your pinkie
finger on the 1st string
and your ring finger on the
2nd string
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9
I hopped of the plane at LAX
D C
with a dream and my cardigan
G Cadd9
welcome to the land of fame excess, (Whoo)
D C
am I gonna fit in?
G
Jumped in the cab,
Cadd9
Here I am for the first time
D C
Look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign
G Cadd9
This is all so crazy
D C
Everybody seems so famous
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G Cadd9
My tummys turnin and I'm feelin kinda home sick
D C
Too much pressure and I'm nervous,
G Cadd9
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
G (strum once)
and a Jay Z song was on
Cadd9 (strum once)
and the Jay Z song was on
D (strum once)
and the Jay Z song was on
[Chorus]
D G
So I put my hands up
Cadd9
They’re playing my song,
D C
And the butterflys fly away
G Cadd9
Noddin’ my head like yea
G C
Movin my hips like yea
G
I got my hands up,
Cadd9
They’re playin my song
D C
I know im gonna be ok
G Cadd9 D C
Yea, It's a party in the USA
Yea, It's a party in the USA
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9
Get to the club in my taxi cab
D C
Everybody's lookin at me now
G Cadd9
Like “whos that chick, thats rockin’ kicks?
D C
She gotta be from out of town”
G Cadd9
So hard with my girls all around me
D C
Its definitely not a Nashville party
G Cadd9
Cause’ all I see are stilletos
D C
I guess I never got the memo
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G Cadd9
My tummys turnin and I'm feelin kinda home sick
D C
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
G Cadd9
That's when the D.J. dropped my favorite tune
G (strum once)
and a Britney song was on
Cadd9 (strum once)
and the Britney song was on
D (strum once)
and the Britney song was on
[Chorus]
D G
So I put my hands up
Cadd9
They’re playing my song,
D C
And the butterflys fly away
G Cadd9
Noddin’ my head like yea
G C
Movin my hips like yea
G
I got my hands up,
Cadd9
They’re playin my song
D C
I know im gonna be ok
G Cadd9 D C
Yea, It's a party in the USA
Yea, It's a party in the USA
[Bridge]
G Cadd9 C D
Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me everytime (everytime)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright
[Chorus] x2
D G
So I put my hands up
Cadd9
They’re playing my song,
D C
And the butterflys fly away
G Cadd9
Noddin’ my head like yea
G C
Movin my hips like yea

They’re playin my song
D C
