[Verse 1]
D
 On the road for forty days
C
 Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze
D
 Sweet, sweet Connie doing her act
    C
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact

[Pre-Chorus]
G            D
 Up all night with Freddy King
C                    D
 I got to tell you poker's his thing
G                   D
 A booze and ladies keep me right
   F                             G
As long as we can make it to the show tonight

[Chorus]
          D
We're an American band
          C
We're an American band
             Bb
We're coming to your town,
               C
we'll help you party it down
          D           C
We're an American band

[Pre-Verse]

[Verse 2]
D
 Four young chiquitas in Omaha
    C
Was waitin' for the band to return from the show
D
 Feelin' good, feelin' right,
it's Saturday night
    C
The hotel detective, he was out a sight

[Pre-Chorus]
G                       D
 Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan
C                            D
They was out to meet the boys in the band
          G
They said, "Come on, dudes,
D
 let's get it on,"
          F                     G
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down

[Chorus]
          D
We're an American band
          C
We're an American band
             Bb
We're coming to your town,

we'll help you party it down

We're an American band
C          D
 We're an American band
          C
We're an American band
