 I AM NOT AMERICAN - The Arrogant Worms

 (If you want to be really picky, you can add an sus4 chord before the last chord
 in each of the verses. See Verse 5 for an example. Only for the completest!)
 
 Intro: A E A B A
 
 Verse 1:
 E    A    E       
 I am not American,
          A              E     
 Though I live in North America
          A       B    E      
 Which is part of the Americas
              A           B      
 Which should make me an American
 
 Verse 2: (Same chords as Verse 1)
 Geographically Canadians,
 Are certainly Americans
 As are Venezuelans,
 But not Hawaiians
 
 Chorus 1:
         A                        E    
 They're out in the middle of the Ocean
 A             B            E      
 Just like the U.S. Virgin Islands,
     A                              G#m C#m  
 Who really shouldn't say they are Americans,
 F#      B      
 Or even virgins
 
 Verse 3:
 E       A         E          
 How did two whole continents,
            A               E       
 Lose their name to one constituent?
 A                      G#m  C#m  
 Where were we when the U.S. went,
     F#                      B   
 And took the word American away?
 
 Verse 4: (Same as Verse 3 chords)
 But to be fair to them,
 Their other name options,
 Like U.S.A.ers or United Statesians,
 Were pretty bad
 
 Chorus 2: (Same as Chorus 1)
 Still I want to be as American,
 As the French are European,
 Or those in Antarctica are Antarctican
 Even if they're just penguins
 
 Verse 5: (Same as Verse 3)
 That leaves us Canadians
 As Northern North Americans,
 But Alaska's Norther curse them
                               (C#sus) C# 
 We're surrounded by Americans. Americans!
 
 Verse 6:
        F#               B      F#      
 I just called those U.S.A.ers Americans
   B                             F#           
 A name meant for two continents not just them
     B    C#          Bbm Ebm 
 For if I said I was American,
 G#                                      C#   
 People would probably think I came from Maine
 
 Chorus 3:
 B      C#        F#         
 Still I think I have a plan,
 B      C#        F#      
 Let's become Antarctican,
 B        C#      Bbm    Ebm  
 And join up with the penguins
 G#            C#          B    C#  F#  B F# 
 For just like them, we're not American!
