Born In The Usa chords by Bruce Springsteen

Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: novice

B
Born down in a dead man's town


The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
E
End up like a dog that's been beat too much


Till you spend half your life just covering up

B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
   E                   B
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now


B
Got in a little hometown jam


So they put a rifle in my hand
E
Sent me off to a foreign land


To go and kill the yellow man


B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
   E                   B
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now


B
Come back home to the refinery


Hiring man said "Son if it was up to me"
E
Went down to see my V.A. man
                  | B | B | B | B | E | E | E | E |
He said "Son, don't you understand"


B
I had a brother at Khe Sahn


Fighting off the Viet Cong
E
They're still there, he's all gone


B
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
                    | E | E | E | E |
I got a picture of him in her arms now


B
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary


Out by the gas fires of the refinery
  E
I'm ten years burning down the road


Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go


B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E                           B
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now


Born in the U.S.A., Born in the U.S.A.
E
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now
