[Intro]
C/G Csus Am


[Verse 1]
              C/G     D                 CsusWe were never fans of stock-car races
Csus   C/G        D                       AmThough mesmerized by the roaring of those cars
Am         D                             CsusOut in the dark the sound echoed off our skin
              C/G           D              C/G   DAs we took to rooftop those engines on the wind


[Chorus]
         C/GWhere we sang the songs of our fathers
     DShah-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
    CsusAnd all the prayers of our mothers
        C/G                DDutiful daughters, dutiful sons
     Am                        EmShah-la-la goes the rattle and hum
         Csus                   C/GFrom the hearth of a midwestern home
        D                                           Am  C/GShah-la-la: that's the sound of immortal Americans


[Verse 2]
C/G                              DWhen children turn the radio on
                                    CsusFists hit the air praising rock and roll gods
                       C/G                  D                  AmFrom the soil they are formed, born to grow corn and cut stone
                   Em              Csus             C/GThey trade off the verses and they sing twin in the choruses
DBabes of the Bible Belt

Maybe low-hanging fruit in the forest


[Chorus]
         C/GBut they sang the songs of our fathers
     DShah-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
    CsusAnd all the prayers of their mothers
        C/G                DDutiful daughters, dutiful sons
        Am                     EmShah-la-la goes the rattle and hum
         Csus                   C/GFrom the hearth of a midwestern home
        D                                          C/GShah-la-la: that's the sound of immortal Americans


[Verse 3]
Csus                  DMy friends turned the radio off
Csus                  DThose holy hymns were no longer ours


[Chorus]
          C/GThough we sang the songs of our fathers
N.C.Shah-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
N.CAnd all the prayers of our mothers
N.C.Dutiful daughters, dutiful sons
        Am                     EmShah-la-la goes the rattle and hum
