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 ooooh yeah 4x
