Pink Houses chords
John Cougar Mellencamp *
G C G 4x
There's a [G]black man, with a black cat, living in a black neighborhood.
He's got an interstate running through his front yard;
you know he [F]thinks he's [C]got it so [G]good
And there's a [G]woman, in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop.
And he [F]looks at her and says, "Hey darlin'
[C]I can remember when you could [G]stop a clock"
[G]Oh, but ain t that [C]America, for you and [G]me?
Ain t that [C]America, something to [G]see baby?
Ain t that [C]America, home of the [D]free?
Little pink houses, for [C]you and me
G C G 2x
Well there's a [G]young man, in a tee-shirt,
listening to a rockin' rollin' station
He's got greasy hair, and a greasy smile he says,
"[F]Lord this must [C]be my desti[G]nation"
Cause they told me, when I was younger,
"Boy you're gonna be President"
But just like [F]everything else those old crazy [C]dreams,
just kinda came and [G]went
[G]Oh, but ain t that [C]America, for you and [G]me?
Ain t that [C]America, something to [G]see baby?
Ain t that [C]America, home of the [D]free?
Little pink houses, for [C]you and me
G C G 3x
F C G 4x
Well there's [G]people, and more people; what do they know?
Go to work in some high rise, and [F]vacation down at the G[C]ulf of Mexic[G]o
And there's [G]winners, and there's losers;
but they ain t no big deal
Because the [F]simple man baby pays for the [C]thrills, the bills,
the [G]pills that kill
[G]Oh, but ain t that [C]America, for you and [G]me?
Ain t that [C]America, something to [G]see baby?
Ain t that [C]America, home of the [D]free?
Little pink houses, for [C]you and me
[G]Oh, but ain t that [C]America, for you and [G]me?
Ain t that [C]America, something to [G]see baby?
Ain t that [C]America, home of the [D]free?
Little pink houses, for [C]you and me
[G] [C] [G]ooooh yeah 4x
