Down Half Step from Conventional Key
[Intro]
F# B F# (x4)
(Riff: F# Bb C# F# Chord to B Chord)
When you're doing the intro, just let off the A string for that Johnny Cougar feel...
[Verse]
F# F#
There's a black man, with a black cat
F# F#
Living in a black neighborhood
F# F#
He's got a interstate running through his front yard
F# E B F#
You know he thinks he's....got it so good.
F# F# F#
And there's a woman, in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop
F# E
And he looks at 'er and says
B F#
Hey Darlin' I remember when you could, stop a clock
[Chorus]
B F#
But ain't that America, for you and me
B F#
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
B C#
Ain't that America, home of the free
B F#
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me
F# B F# (x4)
[Verse]
F# F# F# F#
Now there's a young man, in a t-shirt, listening to a rock and rollin' station
F# F#
He's got greasy hair and a, greasy smile,
E B F#
he says "Lord this must be my destination"
F# F# F# F#
Cause he told me, when I was younger, sayin' "Boy ya gonna be President"
E B F#
But just like everything else, those crazy dreams, kinda came and went
[Chorus]
B F#
But ain't that America, for you and me
B F#
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
B C#
Ain't that America, home of the free
B F#
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me
F# B F# (x4)
[Verse]
F# F# F#
Now there's people, and more people, and what do they know know know
F# F# E B F#
Go to work in some high-rise, and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico!!! (ooooh yeah)
F# F# F# F#
There's winners, and there's losers, but that ain't no big deal
E B F#
Cause the simple man, baby, pays for thrills, with bills, and pills that kill
[Chorus]
B F#
But ain't that America, for you and me
B F#
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
B C#
Ain't that America, home of the free
B F#
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me
F# B F# (x4)
