Acoustic Picks

One more for your S&G set. Don’t be worried about all the chords, a lot of that is due to the different root notes.

Let us be lovers, we’ll marry our fortunes together
I’ve got some real-estate hear in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes, and Mrs. Wagner pies
And walked off to look for America
C C/B Am C/G F / C C/B Am Am7 / Em7 A7 Em7 A7 / D C G C C/B Am7 Am7/G F

Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
And I’ve come to look for America

Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suite was a spy
I said be careful his bow tie is really a camera
Bbmaj7 Bb C / Bbmaj7 C C/B Am C/G / F Fmaj7 C C/B Am C/G Am7/G Fmaj7

Toss me a cigarette I think there’s one in my raincoat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

“Cathy, I’m lost” I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They’ve all come to look for America
They’ve all come to look for America
They’ve all come to look for America
[As in other verses followed by] D G D Cmaj7 / : / D G D Cmaj7 C
