Intro: D&F# Em G A | 2x



      G          D&F#          Em          D       

I was ten, I was thin, I was playing first base 

       G         D&F#       Em         A

with a secondhand glove and dirt on my face

   G         D&F#

In nowhere, Virginia

Em         D&F#        C          G          A

Who'd ever figure that kid in the yard would go very far

       G   D&F#           Em       A

It was 419 Lakewood , had no silverspoons

        G          D&F#          Em            A

Just an old beat up upright that played out of tune

        G          D&F#        Em        A

Now I'm singin' and living the life that I love

         C          G                       A

And when I count my blessings I thank God I was 

    D       Em G A

An American child

    D       Em G A

An American child

       Bm               A

'Cause dreams can grow wild 

       G        A     D

Born inside an American child



Seven pounds, three ounces, she's got my nose

And she's into my heart as deep as it goes

With a promise that's more than just someone's last name

Anyone's equal, in late August came

An American child



(Chorus)



Instrumental:  Bm F#m Em A

               Bm F#m Em A

               Bm F#m Em A

               D&F# G A



(Bridge)

   Bm          F               C      F

My grandfather would have been eighty today

    Bm        A                    D       Em G A

But in '45 he fell down beside an American child



(Chorus)
