Chords for unamerican:
(I just learned that G/E means playing a G major chord
over E in the bass. This is similar to playing an 
e minor 7, since all the notes are identical. 

Another way of writing G/Ew ould be e min7 and C/A would 
translate to amin7. Perhaps this song is more suited 
to minor chords...  :)
