            Intro: G  C G  4x 
 
          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; 
            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 slop. 
       F 
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin' 
C                             G 
I can remember when you could stop a clock" 
 
G                  C                    G 
Oh, but ain t that America, for you and me? 
           C                     G 
Ain t that America, something to see baby? 
           C                    D 
Ain t that America, home of the free? 
                        C 
Little pink houses, for you and me    
 
G  C G  2x 
 
               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              C          G 
"Lord this must be my destination" 
 
Cause they told me, when I was younger, 
 
"Boy you're gonna be President" 
              F                               C 
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams, 
                    G 
just kinda came and went 
 
G                  C                    G 
Oh, but ain t that America, for you and me? 
           C                     G 
Ain t that America, something to see baby? 
           C                    D 
Ain t that America, home of the free? 
                        C 
Little pink houses, for you and me    
 
G  C G  3x 
F C G  4x 
 
             G 
Well there's people, and more people; what do they 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; 
 
but they ain t no big deal 
            F                            C 
Because the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills, 
    G 
the pills that kill 
 
G                  C                    G 
Oh, but ain t that America, for you and me? 
           C                     G 
Ain t that America, something to see baby? 
           C                    D 
Ain t that America, home of the free? 
                        C 
Little pink houses, for you and me    
 
G                  C                    G 
Oh, but ain t that America, for you and me?
