[Verse]

G                                   G
There's a black man, with a black cat
G                           G
Living in a black neighborhood
G                                            G
He's got a interstate running through his front yard
G             F             C          G
You know he thinks he's....got it so good.
G                             G                              G
And there's a woman, in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop
G        F
And he looks at 'er and says
         C                           G
Hey Darlin' I remember when you could, stop a clock


[Chorus]

                   C                G
But ain't that America, for you and me
                 C                 G
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
                 C                 D
Ain't that America, home of the free
                        C                            G
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me

G   C G   (x4)


[Verse]

G                  G             G                            G
Now there's a young man, in a t-shirt, listening to a rock and rollin' station
G                         G
He's got greasy hair and a, greasy smile,
         F             C              G
he says "Lord this must be my destination"
          G                   G                G                    G
Cause he told me, when I was younger, sayin' "Boy ya gonna be President"
               F                      C                           G
But just like everything else, those crazy dreams, kinda came and went


[Chorus]

                   C                G
But ain't that America, for you and me
                 C                 G
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
                 C                 D
Ain't that America, home of the free
                        C                            G
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me

G   C G   (x4)


[Verse]

             G                G                          G
Now there's people, and more people, and what do they know know know
G             G                   F                    C       G
Go to work in some high-rise, and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico!!! (ooooh yeah)
         G                    G          G                 G
There's winners, and there's losers, but that ain't no big deal
          F                          C                        G
Cause the simple man, baby, pays for thrills, with bills, and pills that kill


[Chorus]

                   C                G
But ain't that America, for you and me
                 C                 G
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
                 C                 D
Ain't that America, home of the free
                        C                            G
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me
