Bruce Springsteen - Born In The U.S.A.

[intro] 
B E 
 
[Verse] 
B 
Born down in a dead man's town 
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground 
E 
End up like a dog that's been beat too much 
Till you spend half your life just covering up 
  
[Chorus] 
B 
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A. 
      E                
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now 
  
[Verse] 
B 
Got in a little hometown jam 
So they put a rifle in my hand 
E 
Sent me off to a foreign land 
To go and kill the yellow man 
  
[Chorus] 
B 
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A. 
      E     
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now 
  
[Verse] 
B 
Come back home to the refinery 
Hiring man said "Son if it was up to me" 
E 
Went down to see my V.A. man 
He said "Son, don't you understand"

[Verse] 
B 
I had a brother at Khe Sahn 
Fighting off the Viet Cong 
E 
They're still there, he's all gone 
 
B 
He had a woman he loved in Saigon 
                                   E 
I got a picture of him in her arms now 
  
B 
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary 
Out by the gas fires of the refinery 
    E 
I'm ten years burning down the road 
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go 
  
[Chorus] 
B 
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A. 
E                                                       
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now 
B 
Born in the U.S.A., Born in the U.S.A. 
E 
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now
