Pink Houses Chords

G  C G  4x
 
          G
There's a black man, with a black cat, 

living in a black neighborhood.
 
He's got an interstate running through his  front yard;
            F           C         G
you know he thinks he's got it so good
              G
And there's a woman, in the kitchen, 

cleaning up the evening slop.
       F
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin'
C                             G
I can remember when you could stop a clock"
 
G                  C                    G
Oh, but ain;t that America, for you and me?
           C                     G
Ain't that America, something to see baby?
           C                    D
Ain't that America, home of the free?
                        C
Little pink houses, for you and me   
 
G  C G  2x
 
               G
Well there's a young man, in a tee-shirt,
 
listening to a rockin' rollin' station
 
He's got greasy hair, and a greasy smile he says,
 F              C          G
"Lord this must be my destination"
 
Cause they told me, when I was younger,
 
"Boy you're gonna be President"
              F               
But just like everything else 
                C
those old crazy dreams,
                    G
just kinda came and went
 
G                  C                    G
Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me?
           C                     G
Ain't that America, something to see baby?
           C                    D
Ain't that America, home of the free?
                        C
Little pink houses, for you and me   
 
G  C G  3x
 
F C G  4x
 
             G
Well there's people, and more people; 

what do they know?
                              
Go to work in some high rise, 
    F                     C           G
and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico
            G
And there's winners, and there's losers;
 
but they ain't no big deal
            F                    
Because the simple man baby pays 
        C
for the thrills, the bills,
    G
the pills that kill
 
G                  C                    G
Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me?
           C                     G
Ain't that America, something to see baby?
           C                    D
Ain't that America, home of the free?
                        C
Little pink houses, for you and me   
 
G                  C                    G
Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me?
           C                     G
Ain't that America, something to see baby?
           C                    D
Ain't that America, home of the free?
                        C
Little pink houses, for you and me  
 
G  C G
