Hey everybody, how's it going?
This song is called Pink Houses by John Cougar Mellencamp.
[C#] [F#] [C#]
There's a black man with black hair, living in a black neighborhood.
He's got an interstate run through his front [B] yard, no thiefs.
He's [C#] got it so good.
There's a woman in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening sly.
[B] Oh, and he looks at her and [F#] says, hey darling, I remember when you [C#] could stop a clyde.
Oh, [F#] but ain't that, [C#] for you and me, ain't that America?
[A#m] Something to [C#] see baby, ain't that America?
[A#] Home of the free, yeah, little pink [F#] houses for you and me.
Oh, [C#] for you and me.
There's a young man in a t-shirt, listening to a rock and roll station.
He's got a breezy hair and a breezy smile.
He says, Lord, this must [F#] be my [C#] destination.
Well, they told me when I was younger, said, boy, you're gonna be president.
But just like [F#] everything else, those crazy [C#] times kinda came and went.
Oh, [F#] but ain't that America?
[C#] For you and me, ain't that America?
Something to see baby, [F#] ain't that America?
[A#] Home of the [G#] free, yeah, little pink [F#] houses for you and me.

[B] [F#] [C#]
[B] [F#] [C#]
There's people and more people, and what do they know, know, know?
Go to work, get some high-rise [B] and vacation down at the Gulf of [C#] Mexico, yeah.
And there's winners and there's losers, but it ain't no big deal.
Cause [B] a simple man, baby, [F#] pays the bills, the bills, [C#] the bills that kill.
Oh, but ain't that [F#] America?
