         G
There's a black man   with a black cat
Livin' in a black neighborhood
He's got a interstate runnin' through his front yard
            F           C          G
You know he thinks he's got it so good
There's a woman    in the kitchen
Cleanin' up the evenin' slop
             F                           C
And he looks at her and says hey darlin'
                             G
I can remember when you could stop a clock

[Chorus]
                 C                 G
Oh, but ain't 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, yeah
                       C
Little pink houses for you and me

[Riff 1]

[Verse 2]
                G
Well, there's a young man   in a t-shirt
Listenin' to a rock 'n' roll station
He's got greasy hair  greasy smile
         F             C           G
He says Lord this must be my destination
Cuz they told me    when I was younger
Said boy you're gonna be president
              F                      C              G
But just like everything else those old dreams kinda went away

[Chorus]
                 C                 G
Oh, but ain't 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, yeah
                       C
Little pink houses for you and me

[Riff 1]

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
G
Well, there's people   and more people
What do they know, know, know
Go to work in some high-rise
      F                  C        G
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico, ooh yeah
And there's winners   and there's losers
That ain't no big deal  Cuz the simple man, baby
          F            C                     G
Pays the thrills, the bills, the pills that kill

[Chorus]
                 C                 G
Oh, but ain't 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, yeah
                       C                  G
Little pink houses for you and me, ooooh

         C                 G
Ain't America for you and me
              C                   G
Ain't that America, somethin' to see, baby
              C                         D
Ain't that America, oh the home of the free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
C
Yeah  Little pink houses baby, for you and me
