E                     A7
American woman, gonna mess your mind.
(Ad-lib spelling)

  G  A   E           G    A    E   
American woman, stay away from me.  
American woman, momma let me be. 
Don't come a hangin' around my door, 
I don't wanna see your face no more.
I got more important things to do, 
than spend my time growin' old with you.
Now woman, I said stay away.  
American woman, listen what I  sa-----y.

Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
Chorus
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
I gotta go
I gotta getta away
Think I gotta go
I want to fly away
I'm gonna leave you woman
Bye bye, bye bye
And I'm no good for you
(American woman) I'm looking at you right in the eye
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
(American woman) I'm gonna leave you woman
