	G	Gmaj7	Em	G/D	C
	Let us be	lovers, we’ll	marry our	fortunes tog	ether

	G	Gmaj7	Em
	I’ve got some	real-estate	here in my bag

	Bm	E7	Bm	E7
	So we bought a pack of	cigaretts, and	Mrs. Wagner	pies

	Bm	A	G	Bm	G	Gmaj7	Em	G/D	C
	And	walked	off to	look for	Am	erica

	G	Gmaj7	Em	G/D	C
	Kathy I	said as we	boarded the	Greyhound in	Pittsburg

	G	Gmaj7	Em
	Michigan	seems like a	dream to me now

	Bm
	It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw

	A	Bm	A	G	Gmaj7
	I’ve	come to l	ook for	Americ	a

		C	G
	Laughing on the	bus, playing games with the faces

		C	G
	She said the man	in the gaberdine suit was a spy

		C	G	Gmaj7	Em	G/D	C
	I said be carefu	l his bowtie is really a	camera

	G	Gmaj7	Em	G/D	C
	Toss me a	cigarette	I think there’s	one in my	raincoat

	G	Gmaj7	Em
	We smoked the	last one an	hour ago

	Bm	E7	Bm	E7
	So I looked at the	scenery, and	she read her maga	zine

	A	G	Bm	G	Gmaj7	Em	G/D	C
And the	moon	rose	over an	open	field

	G	Gmaj7	Em	G/D	C
	Kathy I’m	lost, I	said, though I	knew she was	sleeping

	G	Gmaj7	Em
I’m	empty and	aching and	I don’t know why

	Bm
	Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike

	A	Bm	A	Gmaj7	G
They’ve	all	gone to	look for	Americ	a
