[Intro 1]

[G][C][G]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
There's a [G]black man with a black cat
Living in a black neighborhood
He's got an interstate
running' through his front yard
You know, he [F]thinks, [C]he's got it so [G]good
And there's a woman in the kitchen
cleaning' up evening slop
And he looks [F]at her and says:
"Hey [C]darling, I can remember
when you [G]could stop a clock"

[Chorus 1]
Oh but ain't that Amer[C]i ca for you and m[G]e
Ain't that Amer[C]i ca
we're something to [G]see baby
Ain't that Amer[C]i ca
home of the [D]free, yeah
Little pink houses, for [C]you and me,

[Interlude 1]
oh for you and me
[G][C][G]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
Well there's a [G]young man in a T-shirt
Listenin' to a rock 'n' roll station
He's got a greasy hair, greasy smile
He says: [F]"Lord, this must [C]be my desti[G]na tion"
'Cause they told me, when I was younger
Sayin' "Boy, you're gonna be president"
But just like [F]everything else,
those old cra[C]zy dreams
Just kinda came and [G]went

[Chorus 2]
Oh but ain't that Amer[C]i ca for you and m[G]e
Ain't that Amer[C]i ca
we're something to [G]see baby
Ain't that Amer[C]i ca
home of the [D]free, yeah
Little pink houses, for [C]you and me,

[Interlude 2]
oh baby for
[G](you and [C]me)[G]

[Verse 3]
Well there's [G]people and more people
What do they know, know, know
Go to work in some high rise
And vaca[F]tion down at the [C]Gulf of [G]Mexico
Ooo yeah
And there's winners, and there's losers
But they ain't no big deal
'Cause the sim[F]ple man baby pays the [C]thrills,
The bills and the [G]pills that kill

[Chorus 3]
Oh but ain't that Amer[C]i ca for you and m[G]e
Ain't that Amer[C]i ca
we're something to [G]see baby
Ain't that Amer[C]i ca
home of the [D]free, yeah
Little pink houses, for [C]you and me,
[G]ooo, ooo yeah

[Chorus 4]
Ain't that Amer[C]i ca for you and m[G]e
Ain't that Amer[C]i ca
we're something to [G]see baby
Ain't that Amer[C]i ca
home of the [D]free,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah [C]yeah
Little pink [C]houses babe for you and me

[Outro 1]
