I [Em] met a girl in east LA in [B7] floral shorts as sweet as May
She [Em] sang in eighths and two barre-o [B7] chords
We fell in [B7] love but not in court
[Em] La la [B7] la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la
[Em] I don't s.. I don't..
[Em] Ooh, America, [B7] Americano
[B7] Ooh, America, [Em] Americano
Mis [Em] canciones son de la [B7] revolución
Mi [B7] córazon me duele por mi [Em] generación
If you [Em] love me, we can marry on the [B7] west coast
On a [B7] Wednesday en el verano en [Em] agosto
I don't [Em] speak your, I don't speak your [B7] lengua-uno
I [B7] don't speak your, I won't speak your Jesús [Em] Cristo
[Em] Ooh, America, [B7] Americano
[B7] Ooh, America, [Em] Americano
I will [Em] fight for, I have fought for how I [B7] love you
I have [B7] cried for, I will die for how I [Em] care
In the [Em] mountains, las campanas están [B7] sonando
Todos los [B7] chicos y los chicos están [Em] besando
I don't [Em] speak your, I don't speak your [B7] lengua-uno
I [B7] don't speak your, I won't speak your Jesús [Em] Cristo
I don't [Em] speak your, I don't speak your [B7] Americano
I don't [B7] speak your, I won't speak your Jesús [Em] Cristo
[Em] Ooh, America, [B7] Americano
[B7] Ooh, America, [Em] Americano
[Em] Ooh, America, [B7] Americano
[B7] Ooh, America, [Em] Americano
[Em] Don't you try to catch me, don't you try to catch me, [B7] no, no, no, no
I'm [B7] living on the edge of, living on the edge of the [Em] law, law, law, law
[Em] Don't you try to catch me, don't you try to catch me, [B7] no, no, no, no
[B7] Don't you try to catch me, living on the edge of the [Em] law, law, law, law
