This song is easy to play and the chords laid out below still have the groove of the song. Listen to the song for the rhythm, but this is uber fun and cool to play on guitar. I have a female vocalist that sings with me when I play this song and (obviously) I do Kanye's vocals. To help see where the chords change in the lyrics themselves, I have laid them out in whole below. Enjoy and feedback is appreciated. AMERICAN BOY - Estelle featuring Kanye West To cut to the chase, the chords are ||: E7 - C - Am7 - D :|| Verses that are sung by Kanye are noted, otherwise Estelle is singing it. (Kanye)
