[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

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

 Go to work in some high-rise, and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico! (ooooh yeah)

             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
