VERSE I 
 
	  G 
There's a black man       with a black cat 
 
 
livin' in a black neighbourhood 
 
 
He's got an   interstate  running through his front yard. 
 
	     F             C         G 
You know, he thinks he's   got it so good 
 
 
And there`s a woman   in the kitchen   cleanin' up the evening slop. 
 
	   F 
And he looks at her and says, 'Hey darlin', 
 
C                              G 
I can remember when you could   stop a clock' 
C G Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca, for you and me!- C G Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca, somethin' to see, baby! C G Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca, home of the free!--- Yeah, little pink houses for you and me, Oh-- yeah, for you and me.
> Repeat Intro VERSE II Well there's a young man in a T-shirt listin' to a rockin' rollin' station. He's got greasy hair and a greasy smile that says, 'Lord, this must be my destination' 'Cause they told me when I was younger, 'Boy, you gonna be President' But just like ev'rything else, those old crazy dreams just kinda came and went > Repeat Chorus and Intro VERSE III Well there's people and more people. What do they know?---- Got to work in some high rise and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico. And there's winners and there's losers, but they ain't no big deal. `Cause the simple man, baby, pays for the thrills, the bills, and the pills that kill. > Repeat Chorus
