 E                                                      
 I met a roach in America, his family had a massive tree
           E7                                     A    
 They live just about everywhere, he was big in America
                 E    
 He was big in America
 E                                                        
 I met a vet in America, he was alive, he was in overdrive
           E7                                      A    
 He'd just been around everywhere, he was big in America
                 E    
 He was big in America
 
 C#m                             G                          
 And when you're big in America, you like to live in America
 E                    C#m 
 You won't be on your own
 C                              
 And since you're big in America
 G                                   B   
 You might as well make America your home

 It was big in America
