C Cadd9/B Am Am/G F
"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together"
C Cadd9/B Am
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
Em7 A7 Em7
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs.

Wagner pies
D C G C Cadd9/B Am Am/G F
And walked off to look for America

"Kathy,

It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
D G D Cmaj7 C
I've gone to look for America
[Interlude]
Bbmaj7/F
Laughing on the bus
Cmaj7
Playing games with the faces

C Cadd9/B
"Toss me a cigarette,
Am Am/G F
I think there's one in my raincoat"
C Cadd9/B Am
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
Em7 A7
So I looked at the scenery,
Em7 A7
she read her magazine
D C G C Cadd9/B Am Am/G F
And the moon rose over an open field
[Verse 4]
C Cadd9/B Am
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said,
Am/G F
though I knew she was sleeping
C Cadd9/B Am
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
[Chorus]
G
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
D G D Cmaj7 C
They've all come to look for America
D G D Cmaj7 C
All come to look for America
D G D Cmaj7 C
All come to look for America
