America

C    C/B Am C/G F         C  
Ooh ooh ooh  a ooh a ooh, ooh
C/B  Am C/G F ]
 ooh ooh  a ooh a ooh
C         C/B            Am      
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our
  C/G        F
 fortunes together
C             C/B          Am   
I've got some real-estate here 
        Am7
in my bag
Em7                     A7       
So we bought a pack of 
       Em7          A7
cigarettes, and Mrs. Wagner pies
Em7   D     C      G        C  
And walked off to look for 
C/B Am Am7/6 F
America


[Chorus]
C       C/B         Am     
Cathy I said as we boarded the 
     C/G            F
Greyhound in Pittsburg
C        C/B            Am      
Michigan seems like a dream to 
      Am7
me now
G
It took me four days to hitch-hike 
from Saginaw
Em7   D    G       D         Cmaj7 C
And I've come to look for America

[Bridge]
Bbmaj7           Bb             
Laughing on the bus, playing games 
C
with the faces
Bbmaj7                            
She said the man in the gabardine 
         C C/B Am C/G
suit was a spy
F                      Fmaj7 
I said be careful his bowtie is 
              C C/B Am C/G Am6 Fmaj7
really a camera


[Verse]
C         C/B         Am        
Toss me a cigarette I think 
      C/G         F
there's one in my raincoat
C              C/B          Am   
We smoked the last one an hour 
 Am7
ago
Em7                  A7      Em7
So I looked at the scenery,  she
             A7
 read her magazine
Em7       D   C   G         C  
And the moon rose over an open 
C/B   Am C/G F
field


[Chorus]
C         C/B       Am           
Cathy I'm lost, I said, though I 
  C/G            F
knew she was sleeping
    C          C/B          Am   
I'm empty and aching and I don't 
        Am7
know why
G
Counting the cars on the New Jersey 
Turnpike
        D   G       D        Cmaj7
They've all come to look for America
        D   G       D        Cmaj7
They've all come to look for America
        D   G       D        
They've all come to look for 
Cmaj7  C
America
C   C/B   Am  C/G  Dm  F G  
Do do do do-da-do, do do do do-da-do
G7
