[G] [C] [G]
[C] [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.
You [F] know, he thinks he's [C] [G] got it so good.
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleaning up the evening slob.
And [F] he looks at her and says, hey, [C] darling, I can remember [G] when you could slob a cloud.
Oh, but ain't that [C] America?
You [G] and me, ain't that [C] America?
[G] Something to see, baby, ain't that [C] America?
Home on [D] the freeway, yeah.
Little pink houses [C] for you and me.
Oh, yeah.
You [G] and me.
[C] [G]
[C] [G] Well, there's a young man in a t-shirt.
Let's do a rock and roll station.
He's got a greasy hair, greasy smile.
He [F] says, [C] Lord, this must be [G] my destination.
He told me when I was younger, he said, boy, you're going to be president.
But just like everything else, those little crazy dreams [C] kind of [G] came around.
Oh, but ain't that [C] America?
You [G] and me, ain't that [C] America?
Something [G] to see, baby, ain't that [C] America?
Home on [D] the freeway, yeah.
Little pink houses [C] for you and me.

Well, there's people and more people.
What do they know, know, know?
Go to work in some high rise and [F] [G] vacation down at the Gulf.
Oh, yeah.
And there's winners and there's losers.
But that ain't no big deal.
Because the simple man, baby, [Em] pays the bills, the [G] bills, the bills that kill.
Oh, but ain't [C] that America?
You [G] and me, ain't [C] that America?
Something [G] to see, baby, ain't [C] that America?
Home [D] on the freeway, yeah.
Little pink houses [C] for you and me.
