Pollution

C              G7
If you visit A-merican City,
                 C
you will find it very pretty.
C7                           F   
Just two things of which you must
    F#dim
 be-ware,
C               C#dim     G7    
Don't drink the water and don't 
            C
breathe the air.


    Am          G                
Pol-lution, Pol-lution, They got 
F                   E
smog and sewage and mud,
F            C           G7     
Turn on your tap, to get hot and
              C      G7
 cold running crud


C
See the Halibuts
G7
And the Sturgeons
                C
Being wiped out by detergeons

           Am        Dm7         
Fish gotta swim, and birds gotta 
G7
fly.
    c          C#dim     G7      C
But they don't last long if they 
try.


    Am          G               F
Pol-lution, pol-lution, You can 
                    E
use the latest tooth-paste
    F               C           
And then rinse your mouth, with 
G7          C
in-dustrial waste.

C                 G7
Just go out for a breath of air,
                        C
And you'll be ready for Medicare.
    C7                      F     
The city streets are really quite 
  F#dim
a thrill,
       C           C#dim      
If the hoods don't get you, the 
     G7     C
mo-noxide will.

    Am          G              F 
Pol-lution, pol-lution, wear a 
             E
gas mask and a veil.
F            C                G7
Then you can breathe, long as 
           C
you don't in-hale.

C                         G7
Lots of things there that you can 
drink,
                       C
But stay away from the kitchen sink.
      C7                        F 
Throw out your garbage and I've 
    F#dim
got a hunch.
    C          C#dim      G7     
The folks downstream will drink 
      C
it for lunch.

   Am        G             F     
So go to the city, see the crazy 
       E
people there,
     F            C         F  Em
Like lambs to the slaughter,
 Dm C Am

        F     Em  Dm  C  Am
They're drink-ing the wa-ter
    Dm7       G7  C
And breathing the air.
