                          I AM NOT AMERICAN - The Arrogant Worms
            -----------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by Sam Filgate

(If you want to be really picky, you can add an sus4 chord before the last chord 
in each of the verses. See Verse 5 for an example. Only for the completest!)

Intro: A  E   A B A

Verse 1:
E    A    E
I am not American,
         A              E
Though I live in North America
         A       B    E
Which is part of the Americas
             A           B
Which should make me an American

Verse 2: (Same chords as Verse 1)
Geographically Canadians,
Are certainly Americans
As are Venezuelans,
But not Hawaiians

Chorus 1:
        A                        E
They're out in the middle of the Ocean
A             B            E
Just like the U.S. Virgin Islands,
    A                              G#m C#m
Who really shouldn't say they are Americans,
F#      B
Or even virgins

Verse 3:
E       A         E
How did two whole continents,
           A               E
Lose their name to one constituent?
A                      G#m  C#m
Where were we when the U.S. went,
    F#                      B
And took the word American away?

Verse 4: (Same as Verse 3 chords)
But to be fair to them,
Their other name options,
Like U.S.A.ers or United Statesians,
Were pretty bad

Chorus 2: (Same as Chorus 1)
Still I want to be as American,
As the French are European,
Or those in Antarctica are Antarctican
Even if they're just penguins

Verse 5: (Same as Verse 3)
That leaves us Canadians 
As Northern North Americans,
But Alaska's Norther curse them
                              (C#sus) C#
We're surrounded by Americans. Americans!

Verse 6:
       F#               B      F#
I just called those U.S.A.ers Americans
  B                             F#
A name meant for two continents not just them
    B    C#          Bbm Ebm 
For if I said I was American,
G#                                      C#
People would probably think I came from Maine

Chorus 3:
B      C#        F#   
Still I think I have a plan,
B      C#        F#
Let's become Antarctican,
B        C#      Bbm    Ebm
And join up with the penguins
G#            C#          B    C#  F#  B F#
For just like them, we're not American!
