Biography:
The Arrogant Worms are a Canadian musical comedy trio that parodies many musical genres. They are well known for their humorous on-stage banter in addition to their music.
The Worms came together in 1991 to do a few spots on campus radio station CFRC in Kingston, Ontario, and quickly moved to doing spots on the CBC Radio One. Since 1992, the troupe has released 11 albums on their own label and one compilation album under Oglio Records. Their most recent album, Torpid, was released in late 2008.

I AM NOT AMERICAN - The Arrogant Worms
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by Sam Filgate
(If you want to be really picky, you can add an sus4 chord before the last chord
in each of the verses. See Verse 5 for an example. Only for the completest!)
Intro: A E A B A
Verse 1:
E A E
I am not American,
A E
Though I live in North America
A B E
Which is part of the Americas
A B
Which should make me an American
Verse 2: (Same chords as Verse 1)
Geographically Canadians,
Are certainly Americans
As are Venezuelans,
But not Hawaiians
Chorus 1:
A E
They're out in the middle of the Ocean
A B E
Just like the U.S. Virgin Islands,
A G#m C#m
Who really shouldn't say they are Americans,
F# B
Or even virgins
Verse 3:
E A E
How did two whole continents,
A E
Lose their name to one constituent?
A G#m C#m
Where were we when the U.S. went,
F# B
And took the word American away?
Verse 4: (Same as Verse 3 chords)
But to be fair to them,
Their other name options,
Like U.S.A.ers or United Statesians,
Were pretty bad
Chorus 2: (Same as Chorus 1)
Still I want to be as American,
As the French are European,
Or those in Antarctica are Antarctican
Even if they're just penguins
Verse 5: (Same as Verse 3)
That leaves us Canadians
As Northern North Americans,
But Alaska's Norther curse them
(C#sus) C#
We're surrounded by Americans. Americans!
Verse 6:
F# B F#
I just called those U.S.A.ers Americans
B F#
A name meant for two continents not just them
B C# Bbm Ebm
For if I said I was American,
G# C#
People would probably think I came from Maine
Chorus 3:
B C# F#
Still I think I have a plan,
B C# F#
Let's become Antarctican,
B C# Bbm Ebm
And join up with the penguins
G# C# B C# F# B F#
For just like them, we're not American!
