Lyrics:

Well, (Bm)stars ‘n’ stripes are flying

Over distant, battered lands.

Politicians lyin’,

Wavin’ peace signs with their hands.

Well, I’d like to see them tryin’

To explain it to the man

Who (D)lost everything he (A)loves & owns,

And (G)that’s how the seeds of (A#)hate are sown.

In (Bm)history to headlines to (D7)Hollywood

This (G)much I say is (A#)understood …

Chorus 1

(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!

(G)Hear her cannons roar, it’s gonna rico(F)chet!

(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!

(G)See her missiles soar, see her heart de(F)cayin’.

(Bm)

Verse 2

And I can(Bm)not resist the feelin’

That there’s a number to her days,

And to all the death she’s dealin’

In a thousand different ways.

In (D)history, headlines, (A)Hollywood

This (G)much I say is (A#)understood,

It’s (Bm)coming right back (D7)down on her (G)head,

The skies a(A#)bove her turn to red. I said …

Chorus 2

(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!

(G)Hear her cannons roar, it’s gonna rico(F)chet!

(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!

(G)See her missiles soar, see her heart de(F)cayin’.

(D)War is the Amerikan way!

She’s (G)racing swiftly for her Judgment Day, sad to (F)say.

Refrain 1

(A#)Sad (C)to (Dm)say, (A#)that’s (C)their (D7)way.

(A#)Sad (C)to (Dm)say, (A#)that’s (C)their (D7)way,

(Bm)That’s their way.

Verse 3

(Bm)Stars & stripes are flyin’

Over (G)rubble & debris,

As the (Bm)sun sets on the dying in a (G)land that used to be  free.

But (D)oh, by dawn’s ve(A)ry early light,

(G)They’re saying, “More bombs (A#)are gonna make it right.

(Bm)Why stay calm & (D7)patient?” Their tradition says (G)fight.

A(A#)bomination in God’s sight.

Chorus 3

(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!

(G)Hear her cannons roar, [Roar!] (F)

(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!

(G)See her missiles soar, see her heart de(F)cayin’. Sayin’

(D)War is the (A)Amerikan way!

(G)Hear her cannons roar more (F)every day.

(D)War is the Amerikan way!

She’s (G)racing swiftly for her Judgment Day, sad to (F)say.

Refrain 2

(A#)Sad (C)to (Dm)say, [Woe to Amerika!]

(A#)That’s (C)their (D7)way, [Woe to America, woe to Amerika!]

(A#)Sad (C)to (Dm)say, [Amerika!]

(A#)That’s (C)their (D7)way, [Woe to Amerika, woe to Amerika!]

(A#)-(C)-(D)-(A#)-(C)-(D) [The Amerikan Way!]

(A#)Sad (C)to (Dm)say,

[Blessed are the meek, (A#)for they shall inherit the (C)Earth.] (A#)that’s (C)their (D)way!
