America chords
Simon and Garfunkel

Ooh ooh ooh a ooh a ooh, ooh ooh ooh a ooh a ooh

Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together

I've got some real-estate here in my bag

So we bought a pack of cigarettes, and Mrs. Wagner pies

And walked off to look for America
C Am C F
Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburg

Michigan seems like a dream to me now

It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
D G D Cmaj7 C
And I've come to look for America

I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera

Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat

So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine

And the moon rose over an open field

I'm empty and aching and I don't know why

Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
