 Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
 CCmaj7Am
 I've got some real-estate here in my bag
 Em9A7Em9A7
 So we bought a pack of cigaretts, and Mrs. Wagner pies

And walked off to look for America   

 CCmaj7AmCF
 Kathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburgh
 CCmaj7Am
 Michigan seems like a dream to me now

 It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
 DGDCCmaj7Am
 I've come to look for America

 Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces

 She said the man in the gaberdine suit was a spy

 I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera

 Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat
 CCmaj7Am
 We smoked the last one an hour ago
 Em9A7Em9A7
 So I looked at the scenery, and she read her magazine
 DCGCCmaj7AmF
And the moon rose over an open field

 Kathy I'm lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
 CCmaj7Am
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
 G
 Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
 DGDCCmaj7Am
They've all gone to look for America
