VERSE 1: 
 G
There's a black man with a black cat living in a black neighborhood. 
 G
He's got an interstate running through his front yard, 
             F           C         G
You know he thinks he's got it so good 
 G
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleaning up the evening's slop, 
          F
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin' 
 C                             G
I can remember when you could stop a clock." 
 
CHORUS: 
 G                 C                   G
Oh but ain't that America for you and me. 
            C                    G
Ain't that America.  We're something to see baby. 
           C                   D
Aint that America. Home of the free,  yeah, 
                        C
Little pink houses for you and me, oh yeah, for you and me 
 
            G          C    G                                  C    G

 G
Well there's a young man in a tee-shirt 
 G
listening to a rockin' rollin' station. 
 G
He's got greasy hair and a greasy smile he says, 
  F              C     G
"Lord this must be my destination." 
 G
Cause they told me when I was younger, 
 G
"Boy you're gonna be president." 
                F                              C
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams 
                     G
just kinda came and went. 
 
CHORUS: 
 G                 C                   G
Oh but ain't that America for you and me. 
            C                    G
Ain't that America.  We're something to see baby. 
           C                   D
Aint that America. Home of the free,  yeah, 
                        C
Little pink houses for you and me, oh yeah, for you and me 
 
 G
Well there's people and more people what do they know, Know, know. 
                                  F                    C   G
Go to work in some high rise and vacation down at the Gulf 
of Mexico. 
 G
And there's winners and there's losers, 
 G
But they aint no big deal, 
             F                            C
Because the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills, 
     G
the pills that kill. 
 
CHORUS: 
 G                 C                   G
Oh but ain't that America for you and me. 
            C                    G
Ain't that America.  We're something to see baby. 
           C                   D
Aint that America. Home of the free,  yeah, 
                        C
Little pink houses for you and me, oh yeah, for you and me
