***USA - written by Shane MacGowanfrom the album "Peace And Love"USA - As performed by The PoguesGWhen I was young I watched the carsWhen I was older I drank in barsC GWhen I was young I chewed the leavesWhen I was older I drank with thievesGI found a love She gave me dreamsShe left me drunk In New OrleansC GSo cold and lonely So all aloneI wished my heart Was made of stoneC G C GI took the cold bright needle I used it as a swordC G D GMy eyes have seen the glory of The coming of the LordC G C GI burned across the delta I swam across the fordC G D GMy eyes have seen the glory of The coming of the LordWhen I was a young man Standing on this roadMy empty belly An aching holeAn old man said to me "Kid don't you knowThat it's the same Wherever you go"(not too sure about this part...)GI gambled in two graveyards I won against the oddsD GWith the saints And the saviours With the maggots and the godsGI cursed the things they showed me I could never see againD GAnd the howling of the wind at night I wrote upon the rainGI found the thing For which I prayedAnd came back home To the USAC GWith a heart of stone And now I knowThat it's the same Wherever you go
