[Verse 1]
Db
- I've been on the road for forty days
B                           Eb
- Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze
Db
- Sweet, sweet Connie was doing her act
     B                              E   Eb
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact
Gb             Db

B                   Db
- I got to tell you poker's his thing
Gb              Db
- Loose ladies keep me right
    E                             Gb
As long as we can make it to the show tonight


[Chorus]
          Db                        B
We're an American band - We're an American band
             A                             B
We're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down
          Db
We're an American band
B
- Hey, hey, hey!

[Verse 2]
Db
- Four young chiquitas in Omaha
       B                         Db   Eb
Who's waitin' for the band to return from the show
Db
- Feelin' good, feelin' right, it's Saturday night
     B                       E     Eb
The hotel detective, he was out-a-sight
    Gb                   Db
Now -- these fine ladies -- they had a plan
  B                       Db
They was out to meet the boys in the band
          Gb                   Db
They said -- "Come on, dudes, let's get it on,"
           E                  Gb
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down


[Chorus]
          Db                        B
We're an American band - We're an American band
             A                             B
We're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down
          Db
We're an American band
B
- Hey, hey, hey!
