[C] [G]
He's got an interstate running through his front yard.
You know, [F] he thinks [C] he's [G] got it so good.
And there's a woman, she's got a black man with a black hair.
In the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slob.
And he [F] looks at her and says,
Hey, darling, [C] I can remember [G] when you cooked sauerkraut.
Oh, but ain't [C] that America, for you [G] and me?
Ain't that [C] America, [G] something to see, baby?
Ain't that [C] America, home on [D] the free?
Little pink houses [C] for you and me.
Oh, yeah, you and [G] me.
[C] [G]
[C] [G] Well, there's a young man in a t-shirt.
On the list to the rock and roll station.
He's got a greasy hair, greasy smile.
He [F] says, [C] Lord, this must be [G] my destination.
And he told me when I was younger,
He said, boy, you're gonna be president.
But just like everything else, those old crazy dreams
Kind of came around.
Oh, but ain't that [C] America, for you and [G] me?

Well, there's people and more people.
What you think?
No, no, no.
Go to work in some high rise.
[F] And [G] vacation down at the Gulf.
Oh, yeah, and there's winners and there's losers.
But that ain't no big deal.
Cause the simple man, baby, [Em] pays the bills.
The [G] bills, the bills that kill.
Oh, but ain't that [C] America, for you [G] and me?
