[Intro]

[Verse]
Bb G                                          
■  ■ Well there's a black man with a black cat
G                             
Livin' in a black neighborhood
                               G                     
He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
            F           C           G   
You know he thinks he's ■ got it so good
              G                   
And there's a woman in the kitchen
G                           
Cleanin' up the evenin' slop
       F                                
And he looks at her and says Hey darlin'
C                             G7          
I can remember when you could stop a clock


[Chorus]
                  C                   G7
Aw but ain't that America for you and me
           C                    G7      
Ain't that America somethin' to see baby
           C                   D        
Ain't that America home of the free yeah
                       C         
Little pink houses for you and me
C                     
Oh yeah for you and me

[Verse]
               G7                   
Well there's a young man in a tshirt
    G7                                     
Who listen to a rockin' 'n' rollin' station
     G7                            
He's got a greasy hair greasy smile
        F                 C  G7         
He says Lord this must be my destination
            G7                        
'cause they told me when I was younger
         G7                           
Said the boy You're gonna be president
                                        C           
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams
                    G7  
Just kinda came and went


[Chorus]
                  C                   G7

Ain't that America somethin' to see baby
           C                   D
