GG
There's a black man, with a black cat
GG
Living in a black neighborhood
GG
He's got a interstate running through his front yard
GFCG
You know he thinks he's....got it so good.
GGG
And there's a woman, in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop
GF
And he looks at 'er and says
CG
Hey Darlin' I remember when you could, stop a clock
[Chorus]
CG
But ain't that America, for you and me
CG
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
CD
Ain't that America, home of the free
CG
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me
G C G (x4)
[Verse]
GGGG
Now there's a young man, in a t-shirt, listening to a rock and rollin' station
GG
He's got greasy hair and a, greasy smile,
FCG
he says "Lord this must be my destination"
GGGG
Cause he told me, when I was younger, sayin' "Boy ya gonna be President"
FCG
But just like everything else, those crazy dreams, kinda came and went
[Chorus]
CG
But ain't that America, for you and me
CG
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
CD
Ain't that America, home of the free
CG
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me
G C G (x4)
[Verse]
GGG
Now there's people, and more people, and what do they know know know
GGFCG
Go to work in some high-rise, and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico!!! (ooooh yeah)
GGGG
There's winners, and there's losers, but that ain't no big deal
FCG
Cause the simple man, baby, pays for thrills, with bills, and pills that kill
[Chorus]
CG
But ain't that America, for you and me
CG
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
CD
Ain't that America, home of the free
CG
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me
