[Gm] Where's the black man with the black hat?
Tell me the black man's name, [G] oh lord.
He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
And he [C] thinks he's got him some good.
And there's a woman in the kitchen
Cleanin' up the evening swab
And he looks at her [C] and says,
Darling, I can't remember when you [G] kissed
Stop the clock.
Oh, but ain't that America
With you and me
[C] Ain't that America
With something [G] to see, baby
Ain't that America
[D] Home and free, yeah
Little pink [C] dolls and a silver moon
Well, there's a young man in a T-shirt
And he lifts to a rock and rollin' station
He's got a greasy hair and a greasy smile
And he says, Lord, this must be [G] my destination
Cause he told me when I was younger
He said, boy, you're gonna be president
But just like [C] everything else, those old crazy [G] dreams
It's kinda game and win
Oh, but ain't that America
With you and me
[C] Ain't that America
With [G] something to see, baby
Ain't that [C] America
Home and [D] free, yeah
Little pink houses [C] with you and me
[Am] [G]
[C] [G]
Well, there's people and more people
What do they know, know, know
Go to work and somehow [C] rise
And vacation [G] down at your house
And there's winners and there's losers
But that ain't no big deal
Cause [Am] a simple man in bed
And he [C] can't refuse to be a place like yours
Oh, but [C] ain't that America
With [G] you and me
Ain't that America
With something to see, [C] baby
Ain't that America
[D] Home and free, yeah
Little pink houses [C] with you and me
