[D] [F#m] [Bm]
[A] [G]
[D] Let us be [Bm] lovers, we'll marry our [G] fortunes together I've
[D] got [F#m] some real [Bm] estate here in my bag
[F#m]
So we bought a pack [B] of cigarettes, [F#m] and his shoes were [B] in the past
[E] And [D] walked off [A]
to look for [D]
[Bm] America
[A] [G]
Happy
[D]
I said as [Bm] we boarded [D] the [G] Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan [D]
seems [Bm] like a dream to me now
It [A] took me four days to hitchhike from [E] Saginaw
[A] I've come [E] to look [D] for America
[C] Laughing on the bus, [D] playing games with the faces
She [C] said the man in the gabardine suit was [D] a spy
I [G] said be careful his [Bm] bowtie is really a [D] camera
[G#]
[G]
[D] She's been a [F#m]
[Bm] cigarette, I think there's one in [G] my wrinkle
We
[D] smoked [F#m] the last one [Bm] an hour ago
[F#m]
So I looked at [B] the scenery,
[F#m] she read her [B] magazine
[E] And the [D] moon [F#m] rose over an open [Bm] field
[G]
[D] Kathy [F#m] I'm lost, [Bm] I said, [D] oh I wish [G] you were sleeping
I'm [D] 18 [F#m] and aching [Bm] and I don't know why
[A] Counting the crawls on the luge as you turn back
[E] They've [A] all come [E] to look [D] for America
[E] All [A] come [E] to look [D] for America
[E]
All [A] come [E] to look [D]
for America
