America (ver.2)

Eb         Ebmaj7  
"Let us be lovers,  
 
      Cm        Eb/Bb      Ab                 
We'll marry our fortunes together.  
 
Eb            Ebmaj7      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  Ebmaj7  Cm  Cm7  Ab             
To look for Ame-e-e-e-erica.  
 
 
Eb         Ebmaj7  
"Kathy," I said,  
 
      Cm        Eb/Bb        Ab                     
As we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh,  
 
Eb        Ebmaj7       Cm                       
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now.  
 
Bb           
It took me four days  
 
                             
To hitchhike from Saginaw.  
 
F    Bb      F         Ebmaj7     Eb           
I've come to look for Ame-e-e-e-rica."  
 
 
Dbmaj7          Db     
Laughing on the bus,  
 
        Eb                               
Playing games with the faces,  
 
Dbmaj7                                       Eb              
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy.  
 
Ab             
I said, "Be careful,  
 
    Abmaj7             Eb       Ebmaj7  Cm7  Eb6/Bb  Cm6(sus)/A     Abmaj7       
His bowtie is really a camera."  
 
 
Eb         Ebmaj7       
"Toss me a cigarette,  
 
Cm              Eb/Bb     Ab                    
I think there's one in my raincoat."  
 
Eb             Ebmaj7      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  Ebmaj7  Cm7    Eb  Ab             
And the moon rose over an o-o-o-open  field.  
 
 
Eb          Ebmaj7   Cm    
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said,  
 
         Eb/Bb        Ab        Abmaj7  Fm7  Ab   
Though I knew she was sleeping.  
 
     Eb        Ebmaj7     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         Ebmaj7     Eb       
To look for Ame-e-e-e-rica,  
 
F   Bb      F         Ebmaj7     Eb       
All come to look for Ame-e-e-e-rica,  
 
F   Bb      F         Ebmaj7     Eb       
All come to look for Ame-e-e-e-rica,
