They come from the cities
         D             A       E      A  D  A
And they come from the smaller towns
They beat up cars with guitars
And drummers goin' crack, boom, bam

       B        !
  Yeah yeah - rockin' in the U.S.A.

E  A  D  A  x 2  w/ /E & e

Well, they said goodbye to their families
Said goodbye to their friends
With their pipedreams in their heads
And very little money in their hands

  Some are black and some are white
  Ain't too proud to sleep on your floor tonight
  With the blind faith of Jesus
  You know that they just might - be rockin' in the U.S.A.

E! A! D  hey  E! A! D  D

E  A  D  A  x 8  w/ solo de flûteau puis guit

(basse)  x 2  w/ ti-orgue

Voices from nowhere
And voices from the larger towns
Filled our head full of dreams
And turned our world upside down

  There was Frankie Lymon, Bobby Fuller
  Mitch Ryder (they were rockin')
  Jackie Wilson, Shangri-Las
  Young Rascals (they were rockin')
  Spotlight on Martha Reeves
  Let's don't forget James Brown - rockin' in the U.S.A.

E! A! D  hey
