           Eb                 Eb7M 
"Let us be lovers,
             Cm               Eb           Ab 
We'll marry our fortunes together.
 Eb                       Eb7M           Cm 
I've got some real estate here in my bag."
 Gm7                                               C7 
        So we bought a pack of cigarettes,
         Gm7                     C9 
And Mrs. Wagner's pies,
 Gm7  F           Eb 
And walked off
       Bb               Eb   Eb7M   Cm   Cm7   Ab 
To look for Ame-e-e-e-erica.
 Eb                 Eb7M 
"Kathy," I said,
             Cm               Eb               Ab 
As we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh,
 Eb               Eb7M             Cm 
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now.
 Bb 
It took me four days
To hitchhike from Saginaw.
 F       Bb           F                 Eb7M         Eb 
I've come to look for Ame-e-e-e-rica."
 Db7M                   Db 
Laughing on the bus,
                 Eb 
Playing games with the faces,
 Db7M                                                                             Eb 
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy.
 Ab 
I said, "Be careful,
         Ab7M                         Eb             Eb7M   Cm7   Eb6   Cm6         Ab7M 
His bowtie is really a camera."
 Eb                 Eb7M 
"Toss me a cigarette,
 Cm                           Eb         Ab 
I think there's one in my raincoat."
 Eb                         Eb7M           Cm 
"We smoked the last one an hour ago."
 Gm7                                       C7 
        So I looked at the scenery,
 Gm7                                               C9 
        She read her magazine 
                 F       Eb     Bb           Eb   Eb7M   Cm7       Eb   Ab 
And the moon rose over an o-o-o-open   field.
 Eb                   Eb7M     Cm 
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said,
                   Eb               Ab               Ab7M   Fm7   Ab 
Though I knew she was sleeping.
           Eb               Eb7M         Cm 
"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why."
 Bb 
Counting the cars
On the New Jersey Turnpike.
                 F     Bb 
They've all come
       F                 Eb7M         Eb 
To look for Ame-e-e-e-rica,
 F     Bb           F                 Eb7M         Eb 
All come to look for Ame-e-e-e-rica,
 F     Bb           F                 Eb7M         Eb 
All come to look for Ame-e-e-e-rica,
