[C][Em][Am][C]
[F][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]Let us be [Em]lovers,
we'll [Am]marry our [C]fortunes to[F]gether
[C]I've got some [Em]real estate [Am]here in my bag
[Em]So we bought a pack of cigar[A]ettes
and [Em]Mrs. Wagner's [A]pies
And we [D]walked [C]off to [G]look for
A[C]me- [Em]rica[Am][G]
[F]

[Verse 2]
[C]Cathy, I [Em]said as we [Am]boarded
a Grey[C]hound in [F]Pittsburgh
[C]Michigan [Em]seems like a [Am]dream to me now
[G]It took me four days
to hitchhike from Saginaw
[D]I've [G]gone to [D]look for A[C]merica

[Bridge 1]
[Bb]Laughing on the bus,
playing [C]games with the faces
[Bb]She said the man
in the gabardine suit was a [C]spy
[F]I said, be careful,
his bow-tie is really a [C]camera
[Em][Am][G]
[D][F]

[Verse 3]
[C]Toss me a [Em]cigarette,
[Am]I think there's on[C]e in my ra[F]incoat
[C]We smoked the last one an [Am]hour ago
[Em]So I looked at the scene[A]ry
[Em]She read her magazine[A]
And the [D]moon [C]rose
[G]over an [C]o- [Em]pen field[Am][G]
[F]

[Verse 4]
[C]Cathy, I'm [Em]lost,
I [Am]said though I [C]knew she was [F]sleeping
And I'm [C]empty and aching
and [Am]I don't know why
[G]Counting the cars
on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've [D]all [G]come to [D]look for A[C]merica

[Outro 1]
[D]All [G]come to [D]look for A[C]merica
[D]All [G]come to [D]look for A[C]merica
[C][Em][Am][C]
