[Intro]
G C G (x4)
When you're doing the intro, just let off the A string for that Johnny Cougar feel...
[Verse]
G
There's a black man, with a black cat
G
Living in a black neighborhood
G
He's got a interstate running through his front yard
F C G
You know he thinks he's....got it so good.
G G
And there's a woman, in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop
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 (x2)
[Verse 2]
G G
Now there's a young man, in a t-shirt, listening to a rock and rollin' station
G
He's got greasy hair and a, greasy smile,
F C G
he says "Lord this must be my destination"
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

[Verse 3]
G G
Now there's people, and more people, and what do they know know know
G F C G
Go to work in some high-rise, and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico! (ooooh yeah)
G G
And 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
Ah, 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, ooooh
C G
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Little Pink Houses for you and me
