I generally play acoustic and alone so this tab will best represent me and
my one guitar. I will list the fills where they belong in the song and
then they will all be tabbed towards the bottom of the tab.
This is my own interpretation of the song "American" by the Wild Feathers.
Play intro (below) twice.

E B
In the garden, sunlight painted skin
E B (Fill 1)
Country back roads never see again
E F#
West coast sunset, Blue jeans broken in
Chorus
E B E B
American, I've been away for way too long
E B E B
American, I only miss you when I'm gone.
E B (Fill 2)
Halfway home and still I can't forget
E F#
Melodies were ringing in our head
E B E B
American, I've been away for way too long
E B E B
American, I only miss you when I'm gone.
F# G#m A E
And I'm not saying I'd never roam
F# G#m A E
But if I ever leave again I'll come home.

This is pretty rough. Please help me fill in the that second solo and
the background picking. I have an idea for the background picking but
not quite sure.
Hope it helps though.
