                     AMERICA
                   BERT SOMMERS

INTRO: NONE

VERSE:
 D         F#m           Bm        D          G      G
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
 D                        Bm         Bm7
I've got some real-estate here in my bag
F#m                        B              
   So we bought a pack of cigarettes, 
F#m                  B
   And Mrs. Wagners pies
        A      D      A         D     D Bm7 D  G  
And we walked off to look for America


VERSE:  
 D       F#m        Bm          D            G         G
Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburg
 D                     Bm          Bm7
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
A                                      
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
 E    A       E         Dmaj7  G
I've come to look for America


VERSE:
D          F#m      Bm               D         G        G
Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat
D             Dmaj7        Bm  Bm7
We smoked the last one an hour ago
F#m                     B7       
   So I looked at the scenery, 
F#m7             B      
   She read the magazines
          A   D    A       D         A Bm7  D  G
And the moon rose over an open field


VERSE:
D          A          Bm7             
Cathy I'm lost, Oh,I said, 
          D             G       G
though I knew she was sleeping
    D         F#m        Bm           Bm7
I'm empty I'm aching and I don't know why
  A                                 
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
         E   A       E         Dmaj7
They've all come to look for America
 E   A       E         Dmaj7
All come to look for America
         E   A       E         Dmaj7  
They've all come to look for America
