Biography:
Elle King is an anti-folk artist.
Born in Ohio and raised in Brooklyn by her mother (after separating from her father, comedian Rob Schneider), she retains her roots in a style that blends those two worlds of both grit and mid-western charm. She often draws comparisons to Billie Holiday, Duffy, Regina Spektor and Adele. Miss King cites old blues, rock n' roll, and greats like Johnny Cash as her biggest influences.
Featured in an issue of Love magazine and February's V Magazine as well as creating buzz amongst music bloggers everywhere.

Elle King - American Girl
===========================
No capo
[Intro]
D
[Verse]
D E7 G A
Well, she was an American Girl, raised on promises
D E7
She couldn't help thinking that there
G A
Was a little more to life somewhere else
D
After all, it was a great big world
G Em
With lots of places to run to
A
And if she had to die tryin'
G
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
[Chorus]
A D
Oh yeah, alright
Bm G
Take it easy baby, make it last all night
A D
She was an American Girl!
[Verse]
D E7
Well, it was kinda cold that night
G A
She stood alone on her balcony
D E7
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
G A
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
D
And for one desperate moment there
G Em
He crept back in her memory
A
God, it's so painful when something that's so close
G
Is still so far out of reach!
[Chorus]
A D
Oh yeah, alright
Bm G
Take it easy baby, make it last all night
A D
She was an American Girl!
