Ooh ooh ooh a ooh a ooh, ooh ooh ooh a ooh a ooh
C C/B Am C/G FLet us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
C C/B Am Am7I've got some real-estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes, and Mrs. Wagner pies
Em7 D C G C C/B Am Am7/ FAnd walked off to look for America
C C/B Am C/G F
Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburg
C C/B Am Am7Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
Em7 D G D Cmaj7 CAnd I've come to look for America
Bbmaj7 Bb C
Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
Bbmaj7 C C/B Am C/GShe said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera
Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat
C C/B Am Am7We smoked the last one an hour ago
Em7 A7 Em7 A7So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
Cathy I'm lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
C C/B Am Am7I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
GCounting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
D G D Cmaj7They've all come to look for America
D G D Cmaj7 CThey've all come to look for America
Do do do do-da-do, do do do do-da-do (repeat and fade)
NOTE: At the end of each C C/B Am C/G F chord progression, there
is a small but important extra note. While fingering the F chord
(1 3 3 2 1 1), quickly hammer on and then pull off the sus note
(1 3 3 3 1 1). Do this twice each time. Listen to the record to
get a better idea of what I mean.
