C D G Am All night, she wants the young American, young American, young American C D She wants the young American, it's all right, she wants the young American G Am All the way from Washington, her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor C D We live for just these twenty years, do we have to die for the fifty more?" C D G Am All night, he wants the young American, young American, young American C D He wants the young American, all right, he wants the young American Interlude: (Em - D C - D) x2 Em Bm G D Em Bm C Do you remember, your President Nixon? do you remember the bills you have to pay?
