Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Em][G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 1]
Keep [G]off the grass,
[Em]quiet please, [G]no left turn, a [C]one -way street
[Dsus4]Six ty miles an hour, now fifteen,
[G]it's the sch[Dsus4]ool zone[D]
[G]Punch that clock, [Em]don't be late,
[G]get in line, [C]hurry up and wait
[Dsus4]Here comes hard luck Joe,
a -walkin' [G]alone
Just an[C]other day in the
[Dsus4]life of Mr. [D]Amer[G]ica
Forget about what you [Em]wanted to be
[G]Conform to this old so
[C]ciety[Dsus4]
Individualism is a [G]thing of
yes[Dsus4]ter day[D]
Your [G]work's not done,
you [Em]did your best
But you [G]didn't have time,
you need [C]a rest
Vaca[Dsus4]tion time is still
three months [G]away
Just an[C]other day
in the [Dsus4]life of Mr.[D]
[G]America[F#][F][E][A]
The wife is sweet, she's [F#m]never gone
[A]All she wants is a [D]bigger
home and a [E]new car
Like the Joneses bought
[A]before they moved [E]away
The [A]kids are nice, [F#m]all they ask
is their [A]own telephone and [D]TV set
[E]Life says it'll help keep
them out of the [A]way
That's the [D]way it goes
in the [E]life of Mr. [A]America
Pay your taxes, you [F#m]better not cheat
Them [A]new computers are [D]hard to beat
[E]Don't forget that premium
on your [A]insurance is due
[E]Sometimes you[A] wonder
how you're [F#m]still alive
But you [A]gotta hold out till you're [D]65
So [E]you can let Uncle Sam
take care of [A]you
That's the [D]way it goes
in the [E]life of Mr. [A]America
[E][F#][G]
That's the [C]way it goes
in the [Dsus4]life of Mr. Amer[G]ica.
