         G
There's a black man   With a black cat 
Livin' in a black neighborhood  
He's got a interstate runin' 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 remember when you could stop a clock

Chorus           
       
              C                  G             C
Oh but ain't America for you and me Ain't that America
             G                   C                   D
Somethin' to see baby Ain't that America home of the free 
                       C
Little pink houses for you and me

          G
There's a young man   In a t-shirt 
Listnin' 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
Just like everything else those old dreams kinda went away 

Chorus 
                   C                   G             C
Oh well ain't that America for you and me Ain't that America 

             G                   C                   D
Somethin' to see baby Ain't that America home of the free 
                       C
Little pink houses for you and me

Verse 3 
G
Well there's people   And more people 
But do they no,no,no 
Go to work in the summer 
      F                  C        G
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico
And there's winners   And there's losers
Thinkin' no big deal  Cuz the simple man baby
          F           C                    G
Pays the thrills the bills,the bills that kill

Chorus x2
                  C                   G             C
Oh but ain't that America for you and me Ain't that America 
            G                   C                   D
Sometin' to see baby Ain't that America home of the free 
                       C
Little pink houses for you and me
