Born In The USA - Bruce Springsteen
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
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E B
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now
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
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E B
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now
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
| B | B | B | B | E | E | E | E |
He said "Son, don't you understand"
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 | E | E | 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
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E B
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now
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

Gm Bb
I had a job, I had a girl
F
I had something going mister in this world
Gm Bb
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
F
Our love went bad, times got hard
Eb F
Now I work down at the carwash
Gm
Where all it ever does is rain
Eb F Gm Eb F
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
Gm Bb
She just said "Joe I gotta go
F
We had it once we ain't got it any more"
Gm Bb
She packed her bags left me behind
F
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Eb F
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
Gm
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
Eb F Gm Eb F
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
| Eb7 | F | F | Gm | Eb | F | Gm | F |
Gm Bb
Last night I heard your voice
F
You were crying you were so alone
Gm Bb
You said your love had never died
F
You were waiting for me at home
Gm Bb
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
F
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
Gm Bb
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
F
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
Gm Bb
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
F
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
Gm Bb
The room was dark, our bed was empty
F
Then I heard that long whistle whine
Eb Bb
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
Eb F
Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Gm
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
Eb F Gm Eb F
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
