The Pogues - Everyman Is a King: chords

    G                         D            G
In search of a good life the Pilgrims set sail
     C                               G
Then all through the new land they blazed
              D
their brave trails
    C                          G
The iron horse speeding down freshly laid rails
         C          D           Em
Brought settlers determined to prosper

And from the far corners, they made it their homes
The Ities and Germans, the Paddys, the Poles
Goin' down in the dirt, comin' up with the gold
Like Bill Fuller, the Kennedys and the Corleones

Chorus:
C                      G
Life is so good in the US of A
C                       G    D
Live out you dreams in Amerikay
    G             C             G            D
If you've gut the guts and the bucks, it is said
       G        C          D     G
Every man is a king in the US of A
       G        Am          D  Em
Every man is a king in Amerikay

The pilgrims, these days they are called astronauts
They seek new battlefields on the moon and beyond
To wage their star wars in the sky by and by
And to shit on us all from on high

And when it's all over and the world is no more
When the White House and Kremlin have settled
their scores
The stars and stripes flag will fly high up in space
And that's why we all love the United States

Chorus

Vietnam, Nicaragua, El Salvador
How foolish of you not to open your doors
To the Hersheys, Budweisers, McDonalds and more
This wonderful life could be yours

Chorus

In the land of Republican automatons
Uncle Sam's forces, so gung-ho and bronzed
Just waiting their orders from Washington
To fight for your peace and your freedom

Chorus:
Oh, life is so good in the US of A
You'll live out you dreams in Amerikay
If you've got the guts and the bucks, it is said
Every man is a king in the US of A
Every man is a king in Amerikay
