C             F      G        C       F      G  
Do you like American music?  I like American music  
C               F        G      C   F   G   etc...
Don't you like American music, baaaabyyyy
I want you to hold me, I want your arms around me

You were born too late, I was born too soon
F                         G
Every time I look at that ugly moon
                 C         F            C
It reminds me of you, it reminds me of you
