You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the liner notes to _The Brill Building Sound_: At the height of the civil rights furor, Barry Mann wrote a song for the Drifters, one he felt strongly about since it incorporated a lot of personal feelings in lyrics such as `Only in America / Land of opportunity / Can they save a seat in the back of the bus just for me / Only in America / Where they preach the Golden Rule / Will they start to march when my kids want to go to school`. To Mann`s dismay, Leiber & Stoller told him to rewrite it along less controversial lines. `They said there`s no way the Drifters could do this song,` he recalls. `No one would play it`. At this point, record sales mattered less to him than voicing his message, but out of respect to Leiber & Stoller he went ahead and turned the song into this flag-waving anthem. Stoller later told the authors of _Behind The Hits_ that the Drifters were afraid of recording the revamped version. `They thought they`d get too much flak. It would be too controversial. We felt it would make a strong ironic statement -- that it would be more effective -- four black guys singing aoubt what was obviously *not* taking place.` Resigned to the fact that the song was more suited to a whitebread pop group, Leiber & Stoller brought it to Jay & The Americans [some sources indicate that they used the same backing track]. It came out as the follow-up to their first hit, `She Cried`. A decade later, Mann confessed, `It just makes me cry now. It would`ve been a more honest song but I wasn`t strong enough to stick to my guns.` "Only In America" (Leiber / Stoller / Mann / Weil) E D E D / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Verse 1: E D Only in America E D Can a guy from anywhere E D E Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire A G Only in America A G Can a kid without a cent A G A Get a break and maybe grow up to be President Chorus: D A/C Only in America D A/C Land of opportunity Bm Fm G A [1: B 2: E, to coda] Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me Verse 2: Only in America Can a kid who`s washing cars Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars Only in America Could a dream like this come true A G A B E Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you Instrumental break: (chords as per Verse 1) [repeat chorus] Coda: E D E (Only in America) Poor boy like me (Only in America) Poor boy like me (Only in America) Only in America [repeat to fade] -- another ace 60`s tab from Andrew Rogers
