American Life (Madonna) Verses: Chorus: Do I have to change my name? • Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? • Am I gonna be a star?

I'd like to express my extreme point of view I'm not a Christian and I'm not a Jew I'm just living out the American dream And I just realized that nothing is what it seems Do I have to change my name? Am I gonna be a star? Do I have to change my name? When a chord variation is specified between square brackets, change rapidly from the chord to its variation and back. stefano j attardi (attardi.org)
