Well, there was a black man with a black cap, living in a black neighborhood.
He's got an estate running to his front yard.
You [F] know, he thinks that [C]
God is [G] so good.
And there's a woman in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slob.
And [D] he looks at her and says, darling, I can't [C] remember when you could stop [G] a glob.
Oh, but ain't that [C] America for you [G] and me?
Ain't [C] that America for something [G] to see, babe?
Ain't [C] that America, home [D] of the free?
Little pink houses [C] for you and me.
