Nascidos das cinzas da antiga banda Anatomy Of A Ghost, John Gourley (na voz) e Zach Carothers (na guitarra), de Wasilla, Alaska, E.U.A., decidem continuar o trabalho em conjunto e criam um novo projecto, agora com o polémico nome Portugal. The Man. Têm as suas raízes no rock, com elementos folk, soul e até mesmo blues. Já contam com quatro álbuns na sua discografia: “Waiter: You Vultures!”, seguido de “Church Mouth”, um album detentor de maior "agressividade".
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Verse:
C If pain was a color to paint on you
E7 Your heart would be the color blue.
Am Be a gradient from there till your body met your hair
D Which would remain a silver hue
C You are the one they call Jesus Christ.
E7 Who didn't know no rock and roll.
Am Just a mission and a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam
D And a heart that always told you
Pre-Chorus:
FC There's a madness in us all.
FC There's a madness in us all.
Chorus:
C So who broke the rules?
Em Who broke the rules?

AmG Think you're so American.
CF Girls, all you girls
AmG Yeah you're so American.
Verse:
C He may not be born of this land
E7 But he was born of this world.
