D                    E 
You never crossed my mind 
             A              D 
As i crossed all of those borderlines 

D                     E 
Its an awful thing to say, im sorry 
    A              D        Dm 
But i was slipping away. I slipped away. 

A          G          D 
Mary-Lou's a drifter 
                   E 
Oh she bummed a roll-up and a ride 
  A                 G                  D 
And her southern drawl split those warm nights 

 A               G 
"Well its nice to meet you 
    D             E                 A 
And youre very English well aint that swell. 
   G                D               E 
Oh come on kid lets give em' hell." 

  A       G      D       E 
Those American girls 
  A       G      D       E 
Those American girls 
  A       G      D       E 
Those American girls 
  A       G      D       E 
Those American girls (They make it easy) 

 A        G        D 
Jazz fourty-fives and 
           E                  A 
Young dusty lust in 3 'o' clock wind 
             G             D        E 
I lost quick lovers to sloe gin 

F#m 
I was happy chasing,  
C#m 
Your skirt, Heartbeats racing 
D                 E 
Then i skipped across the world... 

D                    E 
You never crossed my mind 
             A              D 
As i crossed all of those borderlines 

D                     E 
Its an awful thing to say, im sorry 
    A              D        Dm 
But i was slipping away. I slipped away. 


  A       G      D       E 
Those American girls 
  A       G      D       E 
Those American girls 
  A       G      D       E 
Those American girls 
  A       G      D       E 
Those American girls (They make it easy)
