VERSE 1:
--------
[G]There's a 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
[G]And there's a woman in the kitchen cleaning up the evening's slop,
And he lo[F]oks at her and says, "Hey darlin'
[C]I can remember when you could [G]stop a clock."
-------
CHORUS:
-------
[G]Oh but ain't that [C]America for you and [G]me.
Ain't that [C]America. We're somet[G]hing to see baby.
Aint that [C]America. Home of the[D] free, yeah,
Little pink houses for [C]you and me, oh yeah, for you and me

VERSE 2:
--------
[G]Well there's a 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 [G]destination."
Cause they told me when I was younger,
"Boy you're gonna be president."
But just like e[F]verything 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. We're somet[G]hing to see baby.

[G]Well there's people and more people what do they know, Know, know.
Go to work in some high rise and [F]vacation down at the [C]Gulf of [G]Mexico.

But they aint no big deal,
Because the [F]simple man baby pays for the [C]thrills, the bills,
the [G]pills that kill.
