Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
 D MajorD            B minorBm     Bm7Bm7
I've got some real-estate here in my bag
F# minorF#m            BB
  So we bought a pack of cigarettes,
F# minorF#m         BB
  And Mrs. Wagners pies
    A augmentedA   D MajorD   A augmentedA     D MajorD   D MajorD Bm7Bm7 D MajorD G+G
And we walked off to look for America

Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburg
 D MajorD           B minorBm     Bm7Bm7
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
A augmentedA
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
 E MajorE  A augmentedA    E MajorE     Dmaj7Dmaj7 G+G
I've come to look for America


VERSE:
D MajorD     F# minorF#m   B minorBm        D MajorD     G+G    G+G
Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat
D MajorD       Dmaj7Dmaj7    B minorBm Bm7Bm7
We smoked the last one an hour ago
F# minorF#m           B7B7
  So I looked at the scenery,
F#m7F#m7       BB
  She read the magazines
     A augmentedA  D MajorD  A augmentedA    D MajorD     A augmentedA Bm7Bm7 D MajorD G+G
And the moon rose over an open field


VERSE:
D MajorD     A augmentedA     Bm7Bm7
Cathy I'm lost, Oh,I said,
     D MajorD       G+G    G+G
though I knew she was sleeping
  D MajorD     F# minorF#m    B minorBm      Bm7Bm7
I'm empty I'm aching and I don't know why
 A augmentedA
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
     E MajorE  A augmentedA    E MajorE     Dmaj7Dmaj7
They've all come to look for America
 E MajorE  A augmentedA    E MajorE     Dmaj7Dmaj7
All come to look for America
     E MajorE  A augmentedA    E MajorE     Dmaj7Dmaj7
They've all come to look for America
