Artist:Madonna
Album:American Life
Song:American Life (from the album)
There's not much to this song,as great as it is,it's basically more
techno beats than guitar but here's what I've worked out anyways.

(No Chord)
Do I have to change my name...........
 
(Sounds better to play bar chords here).
     F#m
I tried to be a ...
                   C#
I tried to be the best,I guess I did it wrong,
                        Bm
Thats why I wrote this song
               F#m
This type of modern life,is it for me......

Repeat for So I went into a bar....
At second verses This type of modern life line,play this riff.

F#m          C#   F#m                   C#
Oh american life,I live the american dream
    Bm                        C#
You are, the best thing I've seen
    Bm               C#         
You are, not just a dream.
 
At the end of 2nd chorus keep playing Bm and C#   
The riff is used mostly after this chorus esp at the rap part.
 
F#m  244222     C# 446654    Bm 224432 

I declare it all my own work
