America

Let us be lovers, we’ll mary our fortunes together

I’ve got some realestate here in my bag

So we bought a pack of cigarettes, and Mrs Wagner pies
Am7 G Dm7 C F Fmaj7 Dm Dm7 Bb
And walked off to look for Ame - rica

F Fmaj7 Dm F Bb
Kathy I said, as we boarded a greyhound in Pitsburg
F Fmaj7 Dm
Michigan seems like a dream to me now

It took me four days to hich-hike from Saginaw
G C G Fmaj7 F
And I’ve come to look for Ameri - ca

Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces

F Fmaj7 Dm F Bb
Toss me a cigarette, I think there’s one in my raincoat
F Fmaj7 Dm
We smoked the last one an hour ago
Am Am7 D7 Am D7
So I looked at the scenery, she read a magazine
G F C F Fmaj7 F6 F Bb
And the moon rose over an o - pen field

F Fmaj7 Dm F Bb
Kathy I’m lost I said, though I knew she was sleeping
F Fmaj7 Dm
I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why
C
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
G C G Fmaj7 F
And they’ve all come to look for Ameri - ca
G C G Fmaj7 F
All come to look for Ameri - ca (repeat and fade)
