{G}If you fly in from Birmingham you'll get the last
if you blew in from Boston no you sure won't have to wait
and I'm {C}learning, a little more every{G}day
about the {D}power of the dollar, and the people with white collars
and the good old American {G}way
{G}I've noticed I don't get much help when they see my blue jeans
some slick with a suit walks up, oh can I help you please
yes I'm {C}learning, as I gain a little {G}age
about the {D}power of the dollar, and the people with white collars
and the good old American {G}way
Solo (same chords as above verse)
key change before next verse{A}
{A}Some high society lady says is your horse outside
no ma'am he's between my legs but your too fat to ride
and your {D}learning, a little more about my {A}ways
and what I {E}think about your dollar and your white collar
and your good old American {A}way
{A}If you don't like my Nudie boots I'm sorry about that
Don't make fun of my hat too or you might get knocked flat
and you'll learn some {D}more, if you ever pass down {A}our way
about the {E}folks without the dollars, and without white collars
hell they are the American {A}way
