Pink Houses chords
John Cougar Mellencamp *
G+G CG 4x
G+G
There's a black man, with a black cat, living in a black neighborhood.
He's got an interstate running through his front yard;
FF C majorC G+G
you know he thinks he's got it so good
G+G
And there's a woman, in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop.
FF
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin'
C majorC G+G
I can remember when you could stop a clock"
G+G C majorC G+G
Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me?
C majorC G+G
Ain't that America, something to see baby?
C majorC D MajorD
Ain't that America, home of the free?
C majorC
Little pink houses, for you and me
G+G CG 2x
G+G
Well there's a young man, in a tee-shirt,
listening to a rockin' rollin' station
He's got greasy hair, and a greasy smile he says,
FF C majorC G+G
"Lord this must be my destination"
Cause they told me, when I was younger,
"Boy you're gonna be President"
FF C majorC
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams,
G+G
just kinda came and went
G+G C majorC G+G
Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me?
C majorC G+G
Ain't that America, something to see baby?
C majorC D MajorD
Ain't that America, home of the free?
C majorC
Little pink houses, for you and me
G+G CG 3x
FF C majorC G+G 4x
G+G
Well there's people, and more people; what do they know?
FF C majorC G+G
Go to work in some high rise, and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico
G+G
And there's winners, and there's losers;
but they ain't no big deal
FF C majorC
Because the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills,
G+G
the pills that kill
G+G C majorC G+G
Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me?
C majorC G+G
Ain't that America, something to see baby?
C majorC D MajorD
Ain't that America, home of the free?
C majorC
Little pink houses, for you and me
G+G C majorC G+G
Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me?
C majorC G+G
Ain't that America, something to see baby?
C majorC D MajorD
Ain't that America, home of the free?
C majorC
Little pink houses, for you and me
G+G CG
ooooh yeah 4x
