Born In The Usa Uke tab by Bruce Springsteen

[Intro]
 
B   B   E   E
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
B
  Born down in a dead man's town
 
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
E
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
 
Till you spend half your life just covering up, now
 
 
[Chorus]
 
B
  Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
      E
I was   born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
B
  Got in a little hometown jam
 
So they put a rifle in my hand
E
  Sent me off to a foreign land
 
To go and kill the yellow man
 
 
[Chorus]
 
B
  Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
      E
I was   born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A. 
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
B
  Come back home to the refinery
 
Hiring man said "Son if it was up to me"
E
  Went down to see my V.A. man
 
He said "Son, don't you understand now"
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
 
B
  I had a brother at Khe Sahn
 
Fighting off the Viet Cong
E
  They're still there, he's all gone
E
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
B
  He had a woman he loved in Saigon
 
I got a picture of him in her arms now
 
E   E
 
 
[Verse 6]
 
B
  Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
 
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
    E
I'm   ten years burning down the road
 
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
 
 
[Chorus]
 
B
  Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A. now
E
  Born in the U.S.A., I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now
 
B
  Born in the U.S.A., Born in the U.S.A.
E
  Born in the U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now
