[Verse 1]
A
 Had a notion across the ocean
A                               G
 Round the corner down Denmark Street
A
 Gettin' late an' still she was waitin'
A
 Another round was gonna set me free, yeah


[Chorus]
 G                  D                    A
Smile so sad, gotta leave you where you stand
   G                    D            E
Oh my, she sighed, nice try American Man

[Verse 2]
A
 She showed her colors unlike the others
A                          G
 Watchin' me from the balcony
A
 She radiated, I hesitated
A
 Was asking me if I would by the drinks


[Chorus]
   G                   D                    A
I smiled so sad, gotta leave you where you stand
    G                  D            E
Too bad, she said, goodbye American man

[Verse 3]
A
 We got so worried, I had to hurry
A                         G
 Last song, time to move along
A
 My cab was waiting, my back was aching
A
 Take me home and I will do no wrong


[Bridge]
D
London town
                D
The city really knocks me out
                  E
And it was all so cool
             D
Stuck in the here and now
                              E
Tell me what's a young boy to do?


[Chorus]
   G                   D                    A
I smiled so sad, gotta leave you where you stand
   G                    D            A
Oh my, she sighed, nice try American man
   G                   D                    A
I smiled so sad, gotta leave you where you stand
    G                 D            E
Too bad she said, goodbye American man

[Outro]
    A    G   D   A
Goodbye American man
    G  D      A    G   D   A  G  D
She said, goodbye American man
    A    G   D   A  G  D
Goodbye American man
    A    G   D   A    A  A  A  A
Goodbye American man
